When writer Sergio arrives in Ljubljana to give a lecture on Narcissus, the first thing he does after checking in to his hotel room is get on an app and look for someone to have sex with. A few hours later, once Igor has come and gone, Sergio spots a dark brown stain on the floor. Looking closer, he sees that it's a blood stain. And looking around, he discovers more and more blood stains all over the room.

A metafictional narrative about obsession, ego, desire and the writer's psyche, The Rage of Narcissus is a fascinating and disturbing journey into the labyrinth of the self and the darkness within us.
