Read Repetition Storyline:

Set in 1960, this novel tells of Filib Kobal's journey from his home in Carinthia to Slovenia on the trail of his missing brother, Gregor. He is armed only with two of Gregor's books: a copy book from agricultural school, and a Slovenian - German dictionary, in which Gregor has marked certain words. The resulting investigation of the laws of language and naming becomes a transformative investigation of himself and the world around him. In the summer of 1960, young Filip Kobal leaves his home to search for his missing brother. He is led not only in the direction of his brother, but to an investigation of language and to recapturing a past.
