Svijet je gladno mjesto: Between the Conscious and the Unconscious

A collection of fourteen stories about outwardly functional yet inwardly disconnected characters, drawing on Freudian ideas of repression, rationalization, and denial, with dreams recurring as expressions of unconscious desire. The review welcomes it as a refreshing move away from contemporary autofiction and finds its psychoanalytic engagement intellectually rewarding. It notes, however, that the writing could have trusted readers more and given the characters greater literary depth.
