It has often happened to me that when a book is good, I can't fall asleep until I finish it.
The same thing happened to me with Ben Blushi's book The Conspiracy, but unlike other books, The Conspiracy isn't letting me sleep even after reading it!
Written by: Riza Krasniqi
And how can I sleep when in this novel, among other things, I read:
Albanians always love invaders.
Afghans living in Albania are the second largest ethnic group after Albanians. Afghans are born four times, Albanians less than once, Afghans come, we leave. Afghans are optimistic, we are desperate.
Afghans think about tomorrow, we think about yesterday.
Half of Kosovo was occupied by Serbs in 2025, with Russian support.
Albanians deserve nothing more than to be led by the dead.
The history of Albania has more traitors than heroes.
Not even the Afghans, who were the most conquered people in the world, had abandoned Afghanistan like the Albanians had abandoned Albania.
Or more precisely, the Afghans want to liberate Albania from the Albanians.
The Albanian's hell is the Albanian himself.
Albania can only become... when Albanians no longer run it, etc., etc.
And after these statements I ask myself:
Will this be the future of a place that someone in the novel calls paradise: "I proposed to them to go to paradise, they returned to hell."
Are we killing our Mother: "Children are the most beloved killers of their mothers"?
"If pessimism were sold in the market, how would our markets fare?"
Is it true that "when for the first time Albanians have the right to decide who will occupy them" the final result of the referendum is that "Russia and America had come out tied"??????
And after much maybe, maybe, maybe, I return to the beginning of the novel and read:
“To those who can prevent the events of this novel from really happening.” And I think can we prevent and how can we prevent the fictional events of this book from really happening?
When in the 70s I asked my father why the Serbo-Croatian language is spoken so much in our country, he told me that when the Montenegrins, occupying Peja, and seeing the citizens drinking tea on their balconies, asked them:
What are you doing?
– We're resting, sitting, drinking tea – the locals replied.
"Stay, stay, rest and drink tea, because if you hadn't stayed, we wouldn't have come here to conquer you," said the Montenegrins.
Surely if we continue drinking tea, it could happen that in 2043 an Afghan becomes Minister of Defense in the Albanian government, that if we continue to abandon the country more than ever, it could happen that half of Kosovo will be occupied by Serbs in 2025, that if we continue with this number of births, it could happen that the result of the referendum will be a tie!
And again when I return to the beginning of the novel: Those who can prevent the events of this novel from really happening." I think that Ben Blushi has written an excellent novel that should be read for many reasons, and especially that it should be read and thought about and acted upon, before it is too late, so that these events remain only read, but not experienced.
I have an idea how to prevent the events of this novel from actually happening?
What about you?
