review 1: Durante gran parte del libro sentí que le coqueteaba al psicoanálisis, cuando habla de sueños, parecía que se justificaba, como metiéndose en tierras ajenas, siempre diciendo que habría que preguntarle a otros (Freud y Jung). Pero a pesar de eso fue posible prestarle atención a su propia propuesta de los sueños, sus estructuras y su linealidad. Es uno de esos libros que sigues leyendo después de haberlo cerrado.
review 2: Superb book from Milorad Pavic - billed as a delta novel with a 100 different endings, that is actually a bit of an exaggeration since the 100 different endings part of the journal of a policeman that tries to make sense of events are all actually essential in understanding the novel. It is very hard to describe this novel, but it con... moretains an androgynous seller of dreams that people will have in the future or would have had were they to live, characters that take dual persona through those, including one that will/has the same death as Pushkin and sees both, and another that gets to be both a boy/man and a woman - not our androgynous main character - and so much more. Told in several parts and in different narrative formats, and with a perfume - both male and female - based theme at least for a while, and taking place in a modern city and of course in unreality spaces this is an amazing novel that needs several re-readings to fully make sense. Available for now (7/2008) only from Serbia though the English edition is affordable even so, I hope it will find a US or UK publisher soon Highly, highly recommended less
