The main character and the narrator of Mimesis, Konstantin Teofilis, an offshoot of the Montenegrin family of Greek origin, born in Sarajevo, living in the southernmost Montenegrin coastal town of Ulcinj, is a passive witness of inferno of 1990s. From his cynical but isolated perspective, Konstantin tells stories of himself and others, the family, environment, constraints of a hard macho, hypocritical and violent society, in both essayistically lucid and uncompromising, as well as factually direct and accurate manner. Without the strength to resist the galloping madness, with no will to solve his emotional problems by going out with his girlfriend, Teofilis remains stuck in space and time unfriendly to “the weak”, delaying the final decision and seeking refuge in the world of music and literature.
