In search of an unreached homeland

Some weights, some fetters with which we were shackled 30, 40 years ago still hold us tight and no matter what we try to do, we keep coming back, like a dog that is tied to a chain, and the moment he thinks he is free, that he will be able to run further, the chain jerks him and he realizes that he is still tied, that he can't go any further, that he is even further from freedom than he was

No story of resistance is a story of defeat

A characteristic of each of the narrative streams is learning about different forms of resistance. That's why I wrote the novel under a working title Resistance, although I knew I wouldn't publish it under that title. Over time, I realized that there is a common denominator between that working title and the place where the action takes place - the mountain Rtanj, two letters that remind us of the chemical element that the heroes of my novel are fighting for. And that is the "Cape", which, in addition to denoting the protruding free part of the land, is also a symbol for Freedom - a critical mineral that we desperately lack.

Death and comments

We believed, while the world was collapsing around us, that literature was more important than the abyss in which we would live for decades. And Serbian literature held on through disintegration and war, robbery and self-satirization. She held herself remarkably well

The criteria for writers to receive royalties is membership

It doesn't matter if the book has ever been borrowed from the library, its author will be compensated based on the author's rate just because he is a member of the OORP. This is one of the illogicalities of the decision that libraries should pay OORP for lending books

In the new double issue: I didn't believe we were so bad

"Aggression - especially in language - has become something completely normal. Because when you lie all the time, and we've been lying for thirty years, what else is left for you but to fuck? No one is ashamed of anything anymore. When he says 'my aunt gave me money for an apartment', he is actually saying that he should hurt you and everyone else below him. It exists at all levels, from politics to various other fields. I think that's where all that aggression comes from."

Perhaps this is the beginning of a new barbaric age

The great Milan Kundera did not give interviews to newspapers, unless it was a conversation with a fellow writer, or if there was something in the journalist's biography that interested him personally. Here are some of his sentences about Europe, the Czech Republic that didn't want him, Russia that made the Czech Republic not want him...

Space 1999… Landing 2023

"I am also afraid that the demands formulated at these protests are too cautious. What does it even mean to cancel a reality show on one television? We all have cable and a choice of 500 different channels and each of us can choose not to watch such content. But this is not the case with our history books and textbooks. What about all the things we teach our children about? They have no choice. They have to replicate what is served to them as teaching material and are graded for it. This is where a real and deep brainwashing takes place."
