Putovanja slijepih: A Map of the Fascinating, the Forgotten, and the Marginal

Rade Jarak's Putovanja slijepih is built from eight microcycles organized around recurring themes such as ghosts, travel, war, art, and madness, with blindness serving as a metaphor for a world unable to see itself. The review admires the book's intellectual reach and formal invention, singling out passages of cinematic suggestiveness. It finds the result uneven, though, as the fragmented structure sometimes slips into a catalog of associations and formal self-indulgence.
