“A story with Internationals” Alickaj’s latest novel

A novel that belongs to the grayness of offices, written with a great deal of spite and sarcasm. An ironical blasphemy towards the blackening of the image of the Albanians of Albania, where the boundaries of imagination and reality are confronted. This is the latest novel by author Ylljet Alickaj, “A story with the Internationals,” which just recently went on sale and has scored a record of sales so far.
The favorite subject of the author is the trauma of the Albanians from racism and discrimination. Confronted with an “elite” arrogance (often mixed with ignorance), many Albanians with or without positions, within or outside of the country, adapt to their circumstances by self subjugation. Using the blackest of humors, the author creates a closed circuit, where, in growing proportions, he presents doses of discrimination and nihilism towards the Albanians, the more they accept subjugation.
As you read this book, the questions naturally arise whether or not the current interest of the West in Albania emanates from emergencies or fortune, or interests of partnerships, cooperation or common alibis. The author simply explains the clich고and impressions and the image-blackening schemes which circulate and are generated at intimate tables of a certain stratum of Internationals (inside and outside of the country) which are quite often institutionalized later on at forums or decision making instances. The novel talks with irony about the foreign experts or journalists who pass through Albania and who have “amazing qualities” to understand, analyze and profoundly grasp this people, producing ready made conclusions for consumption by a public elsewhere, always ready to swallow this blackened reality with glee.
