Dictionary of the Khazars

I recently finished this book by Milorad Pavic, which comes in a female edition and a male edition.

Dictionary of the Khazars is a great book, hard to describe. It purports to be the recreation of an earlier dictionary of the Khazar language, bringing together Khazar dictionaries created by Christians, Jews and Muslims. It has demons, dream chasers, princesses, warriors. The two editions differ only by 17 lines.

If you like the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I recommend you check it out.
