The Death of the Little Match Girl

The Death of the Little Match Girl, Zoran Ferić’s first novel, is a hilarious dark-humored tale in which a story of the local prostitute’s murder and an attempt to discover her murderer makes just a framework for a parade of local fools and dimwits, but here even those who at first sight seem "perfectly normal" get tangled in a series of bizarre and unexpected events. Still, regardless of how »unhinged« this novel may be, its little island universe is a true copy of the grotesque Croatian reality in the past fifteen years or so.
