Summary/Abstract: Slobodan Vladušić’s novel Delusion is his best prose achievement so far. Indeed, this opinion can also be found in the excerpts from the reviews by Dejan Stojiljković and Vladimir Kecmanović, printed on the cover of the book. Viewed chronologically, Vladušić moved in an upward poetic line from his first novel Forward (2009), through the novels We, Deleted (2013) and The Grand Assault (2018), to the last in the series, Delusion. This particular book can be read as any other novel, however, it is only the discovery of numerous intertextual relationships with various literary and artistic works, subtly inserted into the fabric of the text, that brings true reading pleasure.
