A veteran of the Yugoslav Wars is hit hard by the fallout. In elegant, liquid prose Danyi conveys a bitter taste of one man’s trauma. Memories collide, expand and direct the main character, while his body is also a battleground – terror lodged deep in his guts: in control of his bodily functions. The man remains nameless, identified by his preoccupation with his ex-girlfriend and his occupations: first petrol smuggler, then ex-soldier turned carcass remover, and finally dogsbody for a dodgy businessman. All the while he is crossing borders between Serbia, Croatia and Hungary, in relentless movement to alleviate his afflictions. A visceral, yet poetic, exploration of the fragility of a man whose psyche is pushed to the limits under the stress of that most human of activities, organized military conflict, The Carcass Remover attempts to find a language to piece together a shattered world.
