Haunting is what happens when the past is disturbed and the victims of previous violence, who are thought to be buried and forgotten, are brought back to the present and made to live again. Serbian fiction writers of the 1980s exhume the ghosts of the past, re-remembering the cruelty of the twentieth century, reinterpreting the heroic role of the Partisans and the extraordinary measures taken to defend Yugoslavia’s recently won independence and socialist revolution. Their uncanny and ghostly imagery challenges the assumptions of the master discourse promoted by the country’s orthodox communist authorities and questions the historical roots of social and cultural identities. The instability of this period of transition is deepened during the wars of the 1990s, when authors turn from the memory of past violence to face the ferocious brutality of new conflicts. The haunting evocations in their work continue to articulate fresh uncertainties as the trappings of modern civilization are stripped away and replaced by the destructive logic of civil war. The past returns once more with renewed energy in the struggle to make sense of a vastly changed world.

Bakhåll har tidigare gett ut böcker om Franz Kafka och Albert Einstein i denna stil – och här är ett nytt lika välgjort arbete. David Norris (som står för texten) och Carl Flint (som står för teckningarna) lotsar oss in i det fascinerande jätteämnet Joyce. Om Joyce som person och om honom som författare, perfektionisten, "Jag har jobbat hårt hela dan idag och hunnit två meningar. Jag hade redan orden men jag sökte den perfekta ordföljden. Jag tror att jag har hittat den nu." Han var livet igenom besatt av en osviklig hängivenhet till sin konst. Utan att låta sig hindras av sjukdom, fattigdom, familjeproblem eller världskrig tvekade han aldrig att stå för sitt för det mesta missförstådda geni. Om barndomen i Dublin. Redan som barn var han vetgirig och hade ett fenomenalt minne, han var en forskar- och kartläggartyp. "Om den grabben ramlade ner mitt i Sahara, skulle han min själ sätta sig och rita en karta över öknen." Om Joyce idoga kamp mot alla möjliga besvärliga motståndare livet igenom, censurerande förläggare som vill stryka vilt i hans verk med motiveringen att det var obscent, ilskna hyresvärdar som ville vräka honom för att han inte kunde betala för sig, och så förstås hans äktenskap med Nora, två ytterst olika själar förenade i ett motsägelsefullt äktenskap. Om hans speciella nyckelfenom "epifanierna" – dvs gyllene ögonblick som på ett sätt är fullkomligt banala men på ett annat sätt mystiska och alltförklarande. Vi guidas runt i storverket Odysseus, jätteromanen som förlägger antikens hjälteberättelse till en vanlig dag i Dublin 1904. Annonssäljaren Leopold Bloom är Odysseus, hans fru Molly är Penelope. Medvetandeströmmen, pratet, grubblandet, puttrande njurar i stekpannan, flugornas surrande, Mollys heta särade läppar, tusentals detaljer som samverkar till en livspulserande helhet, fram ur myllret stiger en av 1900-talets största böcker, oändligt rik på innehåll. Och förstås också den ytterst gåtfulla boken Finnegans Wake, obegriplig säger nästan alla – nej, säger Joyce själv, lätt att begripa! Om man läser den högt! Med irländsk accent!
