Part parable, part revolving door storytelling, this short fast paced book takes us to a prison playground managing to, in typical Andric fashion immerse you in the daily dealings of the prisoners and the overall mood of the yard itself.
The yard almost comes alive more than the characters themselves, and while this might seem like a predictable route, the truth is it's done masterfully through character interactions rather than just backstagging the characters and letting descriptors proliferate.
The narrative plays on a patchwork of characters and short life stories, that will surely keep your interest thourought. Not really an overwhelming, emotional experience like other Andric works, but a pleasant read nonetheless.
