Doppelganger consists of two stories that skillfully revisit the
question of "doubles" (famously explored by Stevenson, Dostoyevsky
and others), and how an individual is perpetually caught between
their own beliefs and those imposed on them by society. `Arthur and
Isabella' is a story of the relationship between two elderly people
who meet on New Year's Eve - a romantic encounter which turns into
a grotesque portrayal of the loneliness of old age. The second
story `Pupi' - a strange mirror of the first - centres on the life
of a man who ends up on the streets and associates only with
street-sellers the rhinoceroses in the zoo. Together these tales
crate the highly original atmosphere that Drndic t is famous for in
all her works.
