In his last novel, Ogrtač boje mirte – A Myrtle-Coloured Robe, Čedo Vulević sublimated thematic preoccupations and stylistic trends that have marked his entire novelistic opus.

The action of the novel Ogrtač boje mirte mostly takes place in the room 23 of a psychiatric hospital of an imaginary seaside town Dubrave and its immediate surroundings. Although temporally and spatially tightly limited, with only a few protagonists, the plot of the novel extends through manuscripts and visions, the inserts of (pseudo) historical narratives of the characters and reminiscences of their previous lives, reaching the mythical tradition of antiquity, Montenegrin historical junctions and the testimony of disintegration of Yugoslavia. The central character of the novel, writer Vladimir Šćepanović, came to the psychiatric hospital due to the police order after he was banned and burned the novel about the camp experience. The weird world of the room 23, inhabited with hallucinations and dreams, is a kind of metonymy of the world outside the walls of the hospital in Dubrave, the world marked by cyclical movement of time, persecutions, suffering and destruction.
