Über diesen Titel

Witty and ambitious, No-Signal Area is a sprawling novel, smart and just cynical enough to frame and give an edge to the abiding nostalgia that is its real subject.

A group of entrepreneurs brings roaring back to life a defunct turbine factory and the town around it, promising a return to the days of dignity, jobs and the good life and bright future that a manufacturing center can dispense to a small town.

But is a return to the days of plenty possible? And what of the changed relationships between lovers, and within families, that have transpired in the years since that earlier time? Perišić takes us there, into the past and into the future, and watches with a bemused sad smile as the inevitable wreaks havoc with the possible.

Robert Perišić's second novel to be translated into English is a cause for delight.

I loved thr characters, the fact that it feels you're right there with them, which is also due to how the book is read, on different voices - took some getting used to at first, but then I thoroughly enjoyed it.
But what I loved most was the story and the style. " their love followed them like a stray dog" and that chapter on Hamlet really? and where did he get the idea for it? oh, it was creative, funny, endearing, rough sometimes. a gem.

fresh, original story
