Sin

by Andrej Nikolaidis, Branislav Ljubičić (Narrator)

Roman Sin prati jednu noć u životu junaka bez imena, pisca čiji se život raspada. Tog popodneva napustila ga je supruga, dok je već dugi niz godina u sukobu sa ocem koji ga krivi za majčinu smrt. Nesposoban da pronađe unutrašnju smirenost odlazi u toplu mediteransku noć, u grad Ulcinj koji je i sam višeslojna mješavina evropskih dimenzija, afričkih utjecaja i komunističke prošlosti. Junak romana je čovjek koji se ne može prilagoditi novim vremenima i pravilima. Na putovanju u noć upoznaje niz studenta klavira iz Beča koji je napustio muzičku karijeru i prešao na islam, radikalnog hrišćanskog propovjednika i grupe izbjeglica sa Kosova. U stilu Mihaila Bulgakova, likovi se upoznaju u starom gradu u Ulcinju, na mjestu gdje su pirati prodavali zarobljene robove, uključujući I Migela de Servantesa, prema legendi.

Andrej Nikolaidis was born in 1974 in Sarajevo, to a mixed Montenegrin-Greek family. Until the age of six, he lived in the city of Ulcinj, where he returned in 1992 after the war in Bosnia erupted. Since 1994, he has written for regional independent and liberal media, as well as for cultural magazines. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential intellectuals of the younger generation in the region, known for his anti-war activism and for his promotion of the rights of minorities.

Nikolaidis also publicly defended the victims of police torture, which resulted in his receiving many threats, including a death threat during a live radio appearance. He has often stated that he considers freedom of speech to be the basis of freedom.

He has worked as a columnist in the weekly magazine Monitor and for publications including Vijesti (Montenegro), Dnevnik (Slovenia), Slobodna Bosna (Bosnia-Herzegovina), E-novine (Serbia), and Koha Ditore (Kosovo).
