Grumpy in Belgrade – The Prehistory

Taken from the annals of Chris Farmer’s earliest scribblings upon arriving in Belgrade in the Early Transition Era.

It was time of the Great Unknown in Belgrade. Inhabitants of the White City on the Danube hardly knew who was running the country or even what the country was called.

An American writer, having seen much in his travels, arrived in this period of confusion. Often unable to believe what he saw – and rarely able to see what he believed – the result was a collection of random observations and extrapolations. Generally wrong-footed, typically wrong-headed, and always a little grumpy.
