Goran Petrović

At the Lucky Hand

aka the sixty-nine drawers

Klappentext:

Goran Petrović evokes the spirits of Borges, Pavić, and Calvino to conjure up a captivating love story centered on the mythical theory of "simultaneous reading", in which readers meet other people who are reading the same book at the same time, altering lives and loves forever.

At the Lucky Hand, winner of Serbia's highest literary award and a beloved bestselling novel published in more than fifty editions worldwide in twenty languages, is a one-of-a-kind book within a book, a magical entryway into alternate dimensions, and a glorious experiment highlighting the transcendence of reading by one of the most internationally beloved writers of the 21st century.
