Landscape Painted with Tea by Milorad Pavić, Christina Pribićević-Zorić

toxicmaple's review

medium-paced

I really loved his language (you can tell he is also a poet). I must say, I’ve enjoyed reading this book but I have also kept asking myself, why am I doing this to myself? What on earth am I reading? Also, I personally loved his Khazar Dictionary better

5.0

After reading the Dictionary of the Khazars and the beginning of the book, you can think that they move at the same rythm and nothing much could be expected in terms of novelty.

Nothing could be more far from the truth.

Suddenly, Mr. Pavic turns the world down and across making a novel like a crossword puzzle. It breaks the fourth wall in the most unexpected ways. He keeps the level of fantasy high while developing a very intimate and human narrative. History and fiction are interwoven in oniric language.

And the end... One of the best I've read ever.

6/5. Mindblowing.
