You cannot heal yourself
"U Sandblasting sand The Husin revolt is the central axis, but it is also a novel about friendship, about the city, about crimes, about books, music and pictures, about words as they are lunatik i bastard, about the fear of converts, and if you want a novel, as the narrator would say, Fr fucking love. If there were some metaphysical bookkeeper, who would add up and subtract all his inputs and outputs, the balance would be extremely uninventive - life"

Art is often seen as timeless, but the role of the author is never completely invisible. While some artists are "cancelled" permanently, others manage to keep part of the audience or even renew their careers. This is precisely what shows how slippery the issue of separating the character and the work of the artist is

If so, I claim that he could not have heard it in the Second High School in Sarajevo, which Kusturica and I attended in the same years, even reading Andrić as an elective for the entire school year
