Un'incursione nel thriller: Poslednja knjiga di Zoran Živković

The contribution will analyze some of the original features of Poslednja Knjiga (The last book) by Zoran Živković, who does not follow the strict tradition of crime - novels, on the contrary, wishing to transcend reality, the writer overcomes the restrictions of logic and scientifically proved, in order to venture into dimension of the imagery, surreal, dreamy. Živković sets his crime story in a library in Belgrade: inspector Dejan Lukić is entrusted with the case of mysterious deaths, but the investigation, with dramatic turns of events, ends up in a complete nonsense. The truth does not lie in the detection of the murderer (the last book), it is elsewhere, in the mind of the almighty creator - the Author himself, who manipulates the ephemeral lives of his characters. Rich in meta-crime elements, the crime story reveals the complex interaction between the writer's and his creatures' universe.
