The Clinic

The novel The Clinic (Klinika) is an authentic personal testimony that can be described as a cry for help. Over the course of seven days, its main character attempts to solve his health issue by a visit to a renowned specialist in a hospital. His quest resembles an endless odyssey or a desperate Kafkaesque wandering. While waiting for the professor, the narrator confesses his feelings of depression and self-hatred. He has had a painful personal crisis and troubled relationships with members of his own family. Things that until recently have been taboo for him, he is suddenly willing to discuss with complete strangers. Armed with black humor, the narrator depicts protests of medical workers and the conspiratorial encounters of patients and doctors in the style of absurd drama.
