The mood [of “The Builder of Invisible Bridges”] is still tinged with melancholy, though–to be expected in any depiction of life in war-torn countries with totalitarian regimes. It’s a story about humanity surviving in spite of itself. About the definition of luck when one’s fate could always have been worse. And the tender construction of sacrifice and connection, keeping said humanity intact.

In such stories as “Panther,” “Reptile Man,” “The Trouble with Fire,” and “Turing Test,” the author takes decisive aim at contemporary social media culture and advanced technology; an angel behaving like a stand-up comic surveying the history of humankind speaks of “all the words and noise that interfere with any sense at all.” However, Dragan’s narrative imagination makes substantial sense of the impact of that interference.
