Hidden Camera, Paperback/Zoran Zivkovic

From one of Serbia s greatest contemporary writers, Hidden Camera opens with the narrator finding a mysterious, blank envelope stuck in his apartment door inviting him to a private showing of a movie. Or so he initially thinks. Upon arrival at the theatre, he discovers that there s only one other person in the audience, a very attractive woman whom he s seated next to. Then things get a bit more mysterious. The movie he s been invited to see includes a scene showing him sitting in a park. Believing that he s an unwitting participant in a complicated hidden camera show, he goes along with the variety of setups he s faced with, which continue to get more involved and absurd. As the show develops, he becomes more and more paranoid and distrustful, but he keeps up the ruse to its thrilling conclusion."
