Abstract

The suspicion and mystery of an erotic couple, whose taxi overturns on their way to the airport killing them both and the other disturbing questions about this tragic event go deeply to dark nightmarish allegory and reference of post communist tyranny and the politics in Balkan-which is the aim of this analyze. It seems that this roman makes sense on a historical plane and interpretation is linked with political, ideological and social aspect of the actuality. Thus, sometimes associated with Russian formalism, we are operating somewhere between it and structural and constructivist approach to discourse. Emphasizing historical, cultural and social specificity in this text, we are operating especially with Bakhtin’s theory. Besfort Y, was employed by the Council of Europe as an analyst on Balkan affairs, so were their deaths – an accident or a double murder? Perhaps a suicide pact? The investigations involve both Serbian and Albanian intelligence (as Besfort may have been implicated in the decision to bomb Serbia and was preparing a secret mission to The Hague dealing with war crimes. He had also made remarks about Israel.) Rovena is always tempted like Balkan, and like Balkan she is always in the midst of fog; also like her country, Albania which had came out from a communist tyranny, she loved and longed for freedom, but who can evaluate or know what freedom is after a slavery? Besfort is seductive like Europe, pale like the race of murderers– he behaves like a dictator, - so it's an allegory of dictature in Hoxha regime that goes beyond this with larger significance.
