The Role of My Family in the World Revolution

Bora Čosić — one of the most famous Serbian and Croatian writers of the 20th century. His novel «The Role of My Family in the World Revolution» — a literary mosaic. It is assembled by a small boy, telling with... childish naivety about the life of his relatives.

Their house was always full of events. Mother cried when autumn came. Father carried scraps in a suitcase. Unmarried aunts gave all their money to street musicians. Grandpa mocked everyone. Then German troops entered Yugoslavia. After which uncle «turned on the gramophone to neutralize the cries».

One of the signs of a good book, according to Milorad Pavić, — is the ability to read it from any place. This is precisely the case with the novel «The Role of My Family in the World Revolution».
