Add to the list of comparisons

The Damned Yard is a novella (1954) set in an Istanbul prison. An inmate tells the story of the Turkish sultan Cem, cursed with a tragic fate. The story-within-a-story creates a complex parabolic structure about captivity.

Andrić, the 1961 Nobel laureate, masterfully combines Balkan history with universal themes. The Damned Yard is one of his most accomplished works.
