The Story of a Man Who Collapsed Into His Notebook is a novel about departures, about childhood, about the end of love and about the failed idea of an elusive better place.

 Every chapter is a long sentence jumping from the past to the present, from the shoes of a frightened boy to the suit of a grown-up man, from one side of Europe to the other, following the fate of the protagonist who took a train to Berlin from a small Adriatic coastal town, to start afresh, perhaps too late. But before he disembarks at the last station, he needs to face his past and his role as a stranger.

Ivana Sajko painstakingly and succinctly paints a portrait of a time and an intellectual at the crossroads. A man who is, travelling to the imaginary, better West, aware that over there everything is exactly the same as the place where he embarked from.
