In gripping true-confession style, the narrator speaks of love, of family history, of the fragile little things that make us what we are. A woman in the prime of her life, her world coming apart at the seams... Think you already know this story? Think again. It's a brand-new tale in the skilful hands of Vida Ognjenović, whose well-known talents for the theatre are on full display in this award-winning venture into fiction. Join her leading lady, Amalija, on a soul-searching quest for true identity. If there really is such a thing...

"With its eye-catching and ambiguous title, this book shows us that adultery is in fact the perfect metaphor for identity. When you come to think of it, identity is always a metaphor, never a fact. Identity is a construction imbued with our convictions and judgements...

The reader is drawn into a relationship with the narrator not unlike an adulterous affair, in which the truth is revealed bit by bit, layer after deceptive layer. We are promised a story about adultery, and what we get is a story about identity; there is no other way because the controversy of adultery is first and foremost the controversy of identity itself."

Baš kako treba Justejn Gorder

"Brižljivo odmereno. Justejn Gorder nam obećava ʻMalu priču o skoro svemuʹ i to obećanje održava i u lepom i u bolnom. Priča je poetična. Jednostavan jezik upotrebljen je na snažan i divan način. Putovanje se proteže od najvećih morskih dubina do prostranstava kosmosa, a kad se završi, čitalac poželi da pošalje poruku voljenoj osobi i podseti je koliko mu znači. Deluje ambiciozno pisati ʻo skoro svemuʹ  na stotinu strana, ali Gorder na virtuozan način čini da je tih stotinu strana baš koliko treba." - Andrea Kurc, Universitas
