Overview

In Search of the Grail continues Svetislav Basara's ""Cyclist Conspiracy,"" a fantastical exploration of civilizational decline told through an array of strange and esoteric documents.

'Some books grow old with years, some are rejuvenated, some remain the same. But extremely rare are those that manage to force reality to change and adapt to what is written in them. Some twenty years ago <i>The Cyclist Conspiracy</i> seemed like postmodern brick-a-brack. Today, it is a historical record that becomes more and more true with every new day.

His inventiveness is a strength, indeed a talent. --World Literature Today World Literature Today
