Phobos

“Ili-ili”, Skopje: 2025

 

“The novel Phobos is a unique example of a collage-like, non-linear and highly complex hybrid text that skillfully poses some of the most significant questions about humanity and the world: where we were, where we are and where we are going. Exceptionally creative and bold, this book offers a whole spectrum of stories that are fundamental, existential and relevant and at the same time endlessly witty and playful. To enter the world of Phobos is like setting off on a journey without a seatbelt, one you have no way of knowing where it will take you – the future is only one of the versions of the past and one has endless possibilities to be, to exist in one of the worlds stretching as far as the eye can see, or else in all of them, in some alternative time.”
