Možda ovaj Kišov postmodernizam i nije za mene, premda ima draži.

sarkiste's review against another edition

Prvi put “svesno” čitam Kiša i jako mi se dopao njegov stil. Kroz različite priče skupljene u jednu celinu upoznala sam se sa neverovatnim umom i jednim istinskim gospodarom reči. Preporuke.

The state is always right, even when it's wrong... These novellas reconstruct the destinies of people found in the archives, most of them believers in socialism or communism ending up tortured and killed by the systems - the revolution eating it's own children.
The narrator voice is interesting (and adds a meta commentary to the stories) as are the destinies described - and that this could be published in 76 underlines how apart Yugoslavia was from the rest of the eastern bloc.

Meh. I really wanted to like this. I like dark tales and unhappy endings, which this book seems to be full of. I'm sure if I spent the time studying the text and digging deeper to understand all the allusions I would have enjoyed it more. But I didn't.
On to the next one.

"I wish to live in peace with myself and not with the world."
''And these books were bound in leather and marked with numbers and were written by learned men, and in them were, that they wanted to read them, thousands of reasons to kill me at once, and there were in them, that they wanted to read them, a cure and balm for their hatred. . And I told them not to tear them apart, because many books are not dangerous, only one is dangerous; and I told them not to tear them apart, for reading many books leads to wisdom, and reading a single one leads to ignorance armed with madness and hatred. ”
