false 101334 8 Neimenovani junak Ostatka, traumatiziran nesrečom kad ga je nešto pogodilo ravno s neba, gubi pamćenje i neke motoričke funkcije, ali dobiva osam i pol milijuna funti odštete. Otkako se na fizikalnoj terapiji ponovno nauči služiti vlastitim tijelom, započinje opsesivno rekonstruirati svoju prošlost, a samim time i stvarnost. No njegova želja za autentičnošću vodi ga u sve nasilnija i opasnija "uprizorenja". Poput pravog ovisnika nastoji izbrisati granicu između realnosti i konstrukcije, ali spirala događaja izmiče kontroli. 515722 book 2005 Ostatak (Reminder) total:892|5:158|4:288|3:228|2:148|1:70| 892 2992 1365 238 3 9 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jan 22 14:49:34 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 15:56:54 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 4 false false Sat Oct 06 22:56:41 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 06 23:19:48 -0700 2007 À rebours meets Groundhog Day...or a man relives aesthetic minutae, or aesthetic minutae becomes his life.
