Summary/Abstract: Fedor Marjanović, with his suggestive title “Hero without a face”, points us to the question of who and what kind of hero could be a person without a face and whether the title of the book is a tempting trap or completely different heroes are hiding behind it. And what is it that holds together Marjanović's hero and his story in this unusual and brave first book? For starters, this could be part of the answer - strangeness, otherness, a strange eclecticism that unites the incompatible and draws us into a world that walks the edges of the grotesque, the boundaries of the imaginary and the real, alternating in unexpected twists and turns. What Marjanović's stories, in some places through the gentle influence of fiction, and in others through the introduction of the harsh and brutal reality of the partocratic world, want to answer is - what is wrong with the world we live in.
