  [Project Rastko] Milorad Pavić E-Library
Pavic pursue his trademark sleight-of-hand: the reader can begin either with Hero's tale set in Belgrade and Prague in the 1920s and '30s, or, by flipping the book upside down and reading dorm the back, Leander's narrative set in 17th century southeastern Europe.
Pavic refines his experiments in his third equally startling and most accessible novel, The Inner Side of the Wind, or the Novel of Hero and Leander, in which he literally transforms the book as an object that we hold between our hands.

 Милорад Павић :: khazars.com » Milorad Pavic and Hyperfiction
Milorad Pavic’s prose presents a good example of the latter kind of literary works.
The works of Milorad Pavic were considered in relation with the world of the computer before the creation of hyperliterature (about 1990 with the appearance of the first novel on a diskette, Afternoon by Michael Joyce).
The main characteristics of a hyperplay are kept by Pavic’s drama even when it is transposed into the theatre medium which, in this case, is already a simultaneous happening in the real space of different or the same theaters, similar to the simulated hyperspace of the computer.

 Milorad Pavic:   Last Love in Constantinople
Pavic continues this practice with Last Love in Constantinople: A Tarot Novel For Divination, in which the novel can be read straight through or in a random order generated by the laying down of Tarot Cards (a method Pavic describes in his introduction).
In fact, Pavic's world is a topsy-turvy world, not merely because of the vast war raging across Europe, but because causality does not exist in the sense that the modern world understands it.
Pavic's writing is dense and poetic (he was known for his poetry before his prose), and will not be for everyone's taste.

Milorad Pavic is a Serbian scholar and author who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Pavic says that he wants to make literature "reversible" meaning that a reader should be able to look at a work of literature from all different angles, like sculpture or music or painting.
Pavic's writings remind me of magic realism in a way but probably closer to a story telling tradition that goes back to Homer.

As exceptional Serbian author, Milorad Pavic always says, "The future always starts from the large intestine." This may be taken as either prophecy or advice.
But if we concentrate on Pavic' story, rather than on his aphorisms, I think we can quickly conclude the dude is a genius, though one who is not easily understood.
Pavic's characters, or rather, settings, seem to be appearing from a different dimension, the existence of which, we all feel instinctually, but unable to grasp with our senses.

It is difficult to speak of dictionaries without recalling the notorious definition for lexicographer in Dr. Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755): "A writer of dictionaries, a harmless drudge..." Johnson's definition is disingenuous, a statement rendered piquant by its inapplicability to himself.
The lexicographic credentials of Pavic's novel foreground their own dubiousness from the very moment that it is encountered on the shelves of a bookshop or lending library.
The differentiating, en-gendering paragraph in Pavic's narrative, clearly, is much more than a joke, and the cover's advertising of its presence much more than a gimmick.

 Last Love in Constantinople: A Tarot Novel for Divination:Pavic, Milorad:080231323X:eCampus.com
In 1988 Milorad Pavic burst upon the literary scene with his critically acclaimed, international best seller, Dictionary of the Khazars.
His new novel, Last Love in Constantinople, does not disappoint, as Pavic once again demonstrates himself to be a master of narrative legerdemain.
But Pavic refuses to play by the usual rules as he invites us on his postmodernist journey to divine the fate of the lusty, swashbuckling hero and his loves on his journey to self-discovery from Trieste to Constantinople.

Pavic's interlocking series of witty and fantastic tales purports to update that edition, but by now all "facts" about the forgotten nation are doubly conjectural.
No, Pavic is not worried about the reality of the Khazars, but in the melding of cultures of the Balkans, the state of Man and God and their relationships to each other, and odd connections that a literate reader makes between multiple books.
Pavic starts at this juicy tidbit of historia obscura-- already more than a bit surreal to begin with-- takes it, and runs.

 Waggish: Oulipo Tangent: Milorad Pavic
Milorad Pavic's Landscape Painted with Tea is based around a crossword puzzle, but the device does not seem to justify an entire book, which is otherwise erudite and well-written.
But more interesting is Pavic's Dictionary of the Khazars, a self-proclaimed "lexicon novel" based around Eco-like historical research and mythology.

 Milorad Pavic:  Dictionary of the Khazars
In his book, it can hardly be called a novel, Dictionary of the Khazars, Serb author Milorad Pavic begins with this historical event and throws a question into it.
The two books differ by a mere fifteen lines, which Pavic claims are crucial to the reader's understanding of the book.
Whether it is worth the effort to decipher exactly what Pavic is trying to say is debateable, but playing around with the entries in Dictionary of the Khazars and determining which way the story works is definitely an entertaining way to read a book.

In his next two novels, Landscape Painted With Tea and The Inner Side of the Wind, he continued to challenge as he joined a modern Odyssey with a crossword puzzle, and then he told the same tale of two lovers from two perspectives—male and female—and asked us to read it from either front or back.
The book comes complete with Tarot cards (drawn by Pavic’s son, Ivan) that hold the fate not just of the characters but of the reading process itself.
