Schreib-Lust on Hidden Camera
Julia Gaß at German site Schreib-Lust reviews Hidden Camera:
Es geht um Liebe und Tod, die dem Helden immer wieder in Gestalt von Frauen in verschiedenen Altersstufen vor Augen geführt werden. Wie im Zeitraffer eines Films durchwandert der Bestattungsunternehmer sein Leben bzw. das, was sein Leben sein könnte.
Der Roman ist eine Parabel über das Leben und liest sich eher noch wie das Drehbuch zu einem Film, in dem es auch um Fremdbestimmung und die Absurdität des Alltags und von Fernsehsendungen geht. Skurril, aber spannend und höchst vergnüglich zu lesen.
Echoes of an Empty Mind on Steps Through the Mist
Pushpak Karnick at Echoes of an Empty Mind reviews Steps Through the Mist:
As the novel glides from one dream to the next connected dream, we realize that the story is not just about dreams or fateful connections. A much darker (depending on how you look at it) subplot runs through the entire novel, focusing on a much drearier topic than idle dreams – Death. Zivkovic seems to suggest that death is also a dream (or waking up from a lifetime of dreaming?). Fate-Death-Life seem to be three forces that work as One. Death acts as the cause de transformation, turning animate into inanimate, and then something beyond. It need not be the end of life, it could also be the end of life-as-we-know-it, a process of rebirth that needs but the unfurling of wings, and flight into the heart of the Mist.

Extracts from Escher’s Loops
Geopoetika will be releasing my new novel, Escher’s Loops, in both Serbian and English in late June. However, my Serbian-reading audience can get a preview before publication (apologies to my English-reading audience, who will have to remain patient for a bit longer). Glossy magazine Fame has extracted two chapters from “The Fourth Loop,” and I provide the PDFs for those chapters below. Please enjoy.
Chapter 2 of “The Fourth Loop,” (PDF) from Fame #4, February 2008.
Chapter 3 of “The Fourth Loop,” (PDF) from Fame #5, March 2008.

The Last Book TV Series
In late 2008, Serbian National Television will broadcast a six-part television series based on my thriller The Last Book, with filming beginning in early 2008. I am delighted that my novel will be turned into a TV series, and am very pleased I’ll have an opportunity to cooperate on the screenplay.
The Two Zoran Zivkovics
A unique image, as seen in a weekly Serbian magazine: two Zoran Zivkovics. (The one to the left is the prime minister of Serbia, of the same name.) The photo was taken at the Amarcord premiere.
