What is the true psychology of the kleptomaniac? These questions bear on all of us; within every person there lurks a fanatical philatelist or a monomaniacal lepidopterist, just waiting to burst forth. In his new story cycle, \u003cem\u003eTwelve Collections\u003c\/em\u003e, Zoran Zivkovic, the master of mind-bending surreal fantasy, applies his fertile mind to this problem. Some of Zivkovic's characters are lonely eccentrics, driven to gather unusual objects by quirks of temperament or fate; others are the victims of metaphysical collectors from Beyond, entities eager to snap up memories, emotions, and other loose fragments of the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages are explained the profound karmic consequences of photographic narcissism, insane record-keeping, the archiving of one's nail clippings, and the infinite savouring of words; here also are exemplary warnings against surrendering hope, living without creativity, accepting too blithe a Heaven, and answering the phone in the middle of a dream-haunted night. Of course, even with such sage counsel, life remains uncertain and perilous; but even if ultimate answers can never be found, a Zivkovic collection is always eminently collectable...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46480124412055,"sku":"9784908793189","price":1279.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9784908793189.jpg?v=1766307807","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/twelve-collections-9784908793189","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
