The Minister
O knjizi
There is nothing easy about being the Minister of Culture of Montenegro, but the next nine days for Valentin Kovačević will be especially difficult. Participating in an artist’s performance, he has accidentally killed her, and now, if Kovačević is to maintain both his position and his sanity, he must successfully navigate the murky corridors of government bureaucracy, cultural customs, and family pressures.
The Minister is a mind-bending political noir that reveals the ugly truths about how the promises of democratic change empower corrupt politicians and organized crime syndicates, fan the flames of nationalism, and eradicate the middle class. Sharp, unsettling, and bitingly relevant, it is a portrait of a society where truth is slippery, power is dangerous, and survival demands moral compromise.
