The Lost Women’s Manuscripts
„Pravopis za deca“, Skopje: 2026
А postmodern historiographic novel in which the boundary between fact and fiction is constantly shifting. Through a contemporary narrative, the novel opens up a broad literary-historical panorama of the development of Macedonian literature – from its earliest literary traces, through the particularly significant nineteenth century, and all the way to contemporary Macedonian literature, which, within a relatively short period, has managed to establish itself alongside global literary currents.
