Summary

Ivica Prtenjača: Brdo

The main protagonist, also the narrator of Brdo, a former PR in a publishing house and the Museum of Contemporary Art, leaves his civilian existence, promotions, exhibition openings, invitations and speeches in order to climb a hill that dominates an Adriatic island and from there, from an abandoned military watchtower, guarded the island from fire all summer. There, in the company of a dog and an aging donkey, he experiences the peak of his life. The text gives us a precise and complex insight into the hero's inner self, but at the same time into the context in which he lives, so on the hill and at the foot of it appear modern pilgrims going for spiritual preparations, bikers, lost souls of the new age, warriors with PTSD, hunters, abusers: the island very much remembers the traumatic nineties. All this unfolds in front of the reader slowly and unobtrusively, within the framework of a realistically told story that is carefully and subtly built on both the micro and macro levels, just like the best poetry is written. It is a deeply disturbing text, full of emotions and traumatic experiences of a collapsed, imploded urban individual crying out for the meaning of life. Will he meet his catharsis?
