Noćni autobus: Beyond the Yugo-Wardrobe

A collection of twenty-three stories grouped into three sections — Childhood, Summer, and Dream — that moves from autobiographical fiction toward magical realism while confronting the marginalization of minorities, LGBTQ+ persecution, and the traumas of 1990s Macedonia. The review credits the book's thematic ambition and firm conceptual structure, but finds its language too plain and its style underdeveloped, missing the chance to stand out through more figurative writing.
