Knjiga o moru
Zasoljena priča o prijateljstvu, avanturama i, pre svega, o moru. U velikim dubinama Lofotskog arhipelaga u Norveškoj živi zloglasna grenlandska ajkula. Teška više od tone, može da naraste do 8 metara dužine, poživi četiri veka, a njeno meso sadrži toksin koji, kada se konzumira, opija i stvara halucinacije. Knjiga o moru je istinita priča o dva prijatelja, piscu i ekscentričnom umetniku Hugu Osjurdu, i njihovoj jednogodišnjoj poteri za ovim stvorenjem. Na ovim putovanjima, dvojica muškaraca pokušavaju da razumeju okean, oslanjajući se na poeziju, nauku, istoriju, ekologiju, mitologiju i sopstvena, ponekad pijana, zapažanja. Grenlandska ajkula je mamac, ali poenta nije u lov...

Aliss at the Fire (Norwegian Literature Series)
Slim, mournful tale of loss and memory in a coastal Norwegian town, first published in Norway in 2003.

Hurramabad
The 1998 winner of the Anti-Booker Prize, Hurramabad describes the bloody national strife and the eviction of Russians from Tadjikistan following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The title is the name of a mythical city of joy and happiness where there is always plenty of fresh water and shade. When civil war erupts in the country, many Russians are reluctant to leave their home. But normal life gradually vanishes, replaced by atrocity and death. This shifting world is the setting of Andrei Volos s powerful novel. He masterfully creates vivid pictures from street scenes, snatches of conversation at the bazaar, comments by wise old men, and life stories of simple people, Russians and Tadjiks alike. His prose is poetic, with colorful lyrical digressions. Mr. Volos continues the tradition of stern realism in Russian literature, with his economical but expressive language, his sharp psychological insights, and his gorgeous descriptions of nature and national traditions. The best book to come out of Russia in the last decade. Neue Zuricher Zeitung.

Yugoslavia, My Fatherland
When Vladan Borojevic googles the name of his father Nedelko, a former officer in the Yugoslav People's Army, supposedly killed in the civil war after the decay of Yugoslavia, he unexpectedly discovers a dark family secret. The story which which then unfolds takes him back to the catastrophic events of 1991, when he first heard the military term deployment and his idyllic childhood came to a sudden end. Seventeen years later Vladan's discovery that he is the son of a fugitive war criminal sends him off on a journey round the Balkans to find his elusive father. On the way, he also finds out how the falling apart of his family is closely linked with the disintegration of the world they used to live in. The story of the Borojevic family strings and juxtaposes images of the Balkans past and present, but mainly deals with the tragic fates of people who managed to avoid the bombs, but were unable to escape the war.
