Synopsis
The main characters are three artists: Lila, a writer from Macedonia, Edlira, Albanian who deals with photography, and Joseph, a musician from Pakistan. This trio met in Vienna, where they shared an apartment as artists-scholarships. Although they come from different climates and cultures, they come together and find mutual similarities. The story in the novel is told from two angles; the first narrator is Lela and the second narrator is a miniature camera hidden in her toe. A novel about otherness, differences, similarity.
Reviews
Through "Hidden Camera" in Macedonian literature, the manner of writing characteristic of bestseller-books is confirmed, which in a simple and attractive way bring the most provocative questions closer to their contemporaries and provoke the reader's active position in relation to them.
