The End. And Again is a
novel about war, romance and rock ?n? roll. It takes us back to Ljubljana and
the Balkans in late 1980s and early 1990s through the reminiscences of an embittered
bureaucrat Peter, a corrupt manager Goran and eternal runaway Mary. After
taking a fateful bus ride, Mary once fell in love with Denis, a passionate rock
musician, but their love story was tragically cut short when she, a young
missionary, was ordered to leave the country for violating the Mormon code, and
Denis was cast from his peaceful life in Ljubljana, exiled and sent tumbling
into the ravages of the Balkan war.
The
main character?s memories of the years when their interests revolved more
around their band, music and above all love than around the turbulent political
situation that derailed their lives, intersect with those of Denis in the
maelstrom of war.
A
lack of any meaningful resolution to their story haunts them all and forces
them to search for a different end(ing). (And) Again.
