Katerina Avram, a young woman from Skopje, talks about her dysfunctional family and her refugee father from Cyprus who never talks about his past. His life is marked by the sentence \"A man should go to hell!\" which becomes a driving force for Katerina, in her eternal search for her father's identity, in Skopje, Bristol, London and Varosha. Parallel to the story of the life of the Avram family, the story of Pustelija - an anti-community in which people who want to be alone and alienated and have no interpersonal relations, voluntarily move.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Dimkovska's novel Personal Identification Number is a grotesque of the lost and deteriorated\nfamily values, of the estranged society only interested in profit, of the lost individuals who feel\nas if they have wandered into this world that they no longer know and recognize as their own.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Growing up in post-Yugoslav and newly formed Macedonia, whose name she is not even\nallowed to mention at the meeting in Bristol and even less so at the quasi-border in Nicosia, will\nmake Katerina ponder about a series of political issues, which lends to Dimkovska's prose a note\nof social activism and rebellion against disenfranchisement, by voicing the unanswered burning\nquestions \u2013 another indication of the power of her written word. That's why in \u2018Personal\nIdentification Number\u2019, in between the lines, she talks openly about women's rights, about the\nMacedonian and Cypriot issues, about Turkish-Greek relations, about the dreamed European\nparadise, about feminist principles...<\/p>\n

The badlands is a leitmotif in the novel \u2018Personal Identification Number\u2019. It is a dystopian place\nthat exists in a real space. The project for the badlands as an anti-commune meets the approval of\nthe western business world and receives money for implementation. And where else if not in\nMacedonia, where there is no shortage of abandoned villages and towns. Thus the badlands\nbecomes a modern start-up that is realized in our country with British money. A modern town in\nevery modern sense of the word that anyone who wants to live alone can enter.<\/p>\n

Personal Identification Number, the new novel by Lidija Dimkovska, talks about the empty\nspaces in our lives, about the extreme redundancy of our region, about the identity\n\nmisunderstandings and about the emotional vacuum in the souls. It is a novel that will not leave\nanyone indifferent. Lidija Dimkovska gave the Macedonian literature another pearl, another\nextraordinary prose work.<\/p>\n

Sasho Ognenovski<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Personal Identification Number, the new title of one of the most successful Macedonian\nnovelists, is a story about broken family relationships, about self-alienation and about remaining\nsilent, which in no case can be a solution to problems. Dimkovska's novel explores borderline\npsychological states of the mind and presents readers with several characters that everyone can\nidentify with in today\u2019s rampage and alienation.\"<\/p>\n
