Tragedy nearly befalls a dismal Yugoslavian foundry town when Egon, romance writer extraordinaire and tireless bon vivant, discovers he’s used up his last drop of Cartier perfume. A man will do anything for his perfume, even if it means cheating a young Gypsy girl of her Playboy, blackmailing a lascivious preacher, publishing an atrocious poet, and conspiring with a band of uncouth cowboys.

Meanwhile, he must somehow juggle past and present lovers and save a friend from an obsession with Nastassja Kinski.

The Cartier Project is one of Slovenia’s best-selling titles of all time. With Yugoslavia heading towards its final stages of disintegration, Mazzini captured the essence of his country’s struggle with its identity through Egon’s monomaniacal and Bukowski-like quest.

With a new introduction by the author.
