Synopsis

The Coming is an explosive mixture on three levels: a hard-boiled investigation, the story of an impending global catastrophe, and the description of daily life in a small Balkan city. Imagine Dashiell Hammett meeting Umberto Eco, and both of them meeting Orhan Pamuk! If there is justice in the world, Nikolaidis' novel should become a bestseller bigger than the novels of James Patterson or John Grisham. And since there is no justice in the world, let us hope that a divine caprice will nonetheless make this insanely readable page-turner a mega success.' -- Slavoj Zizek

About this title

About the Author

Nikolaidis was born in 1974 to a mixed Montenegrin-Greek family and raised in Sarajevo, Bosnia/Herzegovina. In 1992, following the breakout of ethnic strife in Bosnia that soon erupted into an all-out war, Nikolaidis' family moved to Ulcinj, his father's hometown in Montenegro, where he now owns a summer home. An ardent supporter of Montenegrin independence, anti-war activist and promoter of human rights, especially minority rights, Nikolaidis initially became known for his political views and public feuds, appearing on local television and in newspapers with his razor-sharp political commentaries. His writings for Monitor and Slobodna Bosna aroused controversy and he received threats, including death threats, after publishing several articles about facing the past. During a talk show on Radio Antena M, one listener, while he was on air, said that he would kill Nikolaidis. He wrote columns for pro-independence Montenegrin publications such as daily newspaper Vijesti and weekly news magazine Monitor (from 2002 until 2009), as well as weekly news magazine Slobodna Bosna. He is a columnist of Delo (Ljubljana) and E-novine (Belgrade), and presently resides in Ulcinj.
