Summary
Tomislav Šovagović: Crnica Blues
Tomislav Šovagović's eleventh book is a warm and witty tribute to our grandparents, silent heroes whose lives were made of laughter, suffering, prayer and wisdom. This is a novel that fearlessly tackles big questions: about God and the devil, about life and death, about faith and reason, with a healthy dose of humor and a lot of heart.
For those who already know Šovagović's world, there are recognizable lines from the past, such as unforgettable tennis matches with grandmother Kata, but also references to books, comics and ships that will awaken memories of other, perhaps simpler ones for many. of time.
Šovagović takes you on a journey to his homeland where real, recognizable people move, while Šibenik's humor, ironic, sharp and somewhat sacrilegious, does not spare anyone, neither kings nor popes.
And while waves of humor and memories carry you through the pages, Crnica Blues at its core remains the most valuable thing: a book about love for small roots, about people who quietly led big lives. And who, whether we want to admit it or not, taught us everything that is valuable.
