This is an automatically translated description

The novel Felix by Volodymyr Ketzmanovych is a story about the relationship between a father and his son. In the first chapter, the narrator reconstructs an ordinary day of an elderly man, Simeon Rakych, who has been nicknamed Felix since his youth, and he chose it in honour of the hero of Thomas Mann's novel Confessions of an Adventurer, Felix Krul. And for good reason, because Simeon is an ordinary swindler who supposedly earns money by selling his apartment in the centre of Belgrade. One evening, when he returns home, he finds a stranger with a gun, who also introduces himself as Felix. As it turns out later, this is Simeon's illegitimate son, whom he did not even know existed, who has come to take revenge on his father for being deprived of a normal childhood.

In a unique narrative style, with the help of short, often even one-word sentences, Ketzmanovich manages to create a fascinating story - a detective, a thriller and a family drama about two Felixes.

The novel Felix was one of the finalists of the NIN Literary Competition in Serbia in 2007 and was awarded the National Literary Prize.
