Guten Tag

Ugresic's writing is very distinct unlike the smooth flow of a tradition novel. The structure of the novel is a series of independent thoughts that result in the following thought. The fact that the novel doesn't have a common plot structure makes it hard for the reader to follow at first. However, the individual sections of text contribute to the story by displaying the narrators feelings of loneliness and disconnect. All the readings have this pattern of lonliness and disconnect which the narrator seems to be feeling at most times. Even when recalling childhood memories she connects them to a tragic memory or event in present or past reality. Living in Berlin has become difficult to adapt to for the narrator she lacks the social interaction between others around her that she once had. The people of Berlin are very consumed in their personal lives and don't have time to interact with others. Even though Yugoslavia is filled with many unhappy memories she longs for her home country, to which she cannot return.
