Andreas Ban is a writer and a psychologist, an intellectual proper, full of empathy, but his world has been falling apart for years. When he retires with a miserable pension and finds out that he is ill, he gains a new perspective on the debris of his life and the life of his friends. In defying illness and old age, Andreas Ban is cynical and powerful, and in his investigations into his own past, he learns stories told by the disempowered, hunted down and helpless, stories that uncompromisingly lay bare a gamut of taboos. In Belladonna, Daša Drndić pushes to the limit the issues about illness and the (im)possibility of living (and dying) in contemporary, utterly dehumanised world where old age and illness are the scarlet letters of shame thrown in the face of the advertised eternal youth and beauty. Belladonna brings together fiction and reality, and Andreas Ban stands for a true hero of our times; he is a castaway intellectual of a society which subdues every critical thought under the disguise of political correctness.

Razotkrivanje s Dašom Drndić TribinaRazotkrivanje Razgovor s Dašom Drndić povodom njenog novog romana Belladonna u utorak 6.11.2012. u 19 sati u kazalištu ZKM, Teslina 7, Zagreb Razgovor vodiSeid Serdarević U Belladonni Daša Drndić ispituje i do krajnjih granica dovodi teme bolesti i (ne)mogućnosti življenja (i umiranja) u današnjem, potpuno dehumaniziranom svijetu i u vremenima kada su starost i bolest nešto sramotno te kada se propagiraju isključivo vječna mladost i bezgranična ljepota. Belladonna je djelo u kojem se isprepliću stvarno i fikcionalno, autobiografsko i izmišljeno, a Andreas Ban je istinski junak našeg doba – on je intelektualac odbačen od društva koje pod krinkom korektnosti zatire mogućnost kritičkog mišljenja.
