"The Attic" is Danilo Kiš's first novel. Written in 1960,
published in 1962, and set in contemporary Belgrade, it explores
the relationship of a young man, known only as Orpheus, to the art
of writing; it also tracks his relationship with a colorful cast of
characters with nicknames such as Eurydice, Mary Magdalene,
Tam-Tam, and Billy Wise Ass. Rich with references to music,
painting, philosophy, and gastronomy, this bohemian "Bildungsroman"
is a laboratory of technique and style for the young Kiš -- at once
a depiction of life in literary Belgrade, a register of stylistic
devices and themes that would recur throughout Kiš's oeuvre, and an
account of one young man's quest to find a way to balance his life,
his loves, and his art.
