Summary

Miloš Crnjanski: Diary about Čarnojević

"During the war I had a diary that I carried with me, like a bed of cabbage. It grew terribly. What I decided to print at the University of Belgrade was, it seems to me, at least twelve printed sheets," Miloš Crnjanski later wrote about the circumstances under which the first edition of his Diary about Čarnojević was published in 1921. Of the twelve manuscript leaves, the All-Slovenian Bookstore in Belgrade, which was supposed to print the book, first requested that the manuscript be shortened by almost half, to seven leaves. But it didn't stop there. "In addition, that bookshop, from somewhere, included university professor Vlado Corović, otherwise my friend, as an arbiter of morality," Crnjanski testified.
"He claimed that a good part of my Diary should be cut out as pornography. In addition, he claimed that there was too much pessimism in that book and that, after a terrible war, we need a completely different kind of literature. Optimistic. Healthy. Not decadent. I somehow still fought against the accusation that I was "decadent", but it was impossible to fight against the accusation of being a pronographer."
Crnjanski was preparing for a trip to Paris when he was told that the publisher would print only five pages of his Dnevnik out of the original twelve. "At that time, I had a lot of worries and troubles in my private life and I was so irritated that I burned old letters and even manuscripts that I did not print in Zagreb. So I also burned what could not fit into the Diary... Vinaver proofread While the diary was being printed, it disrupted the schedule of individual chapters. I was already in Paris."
Thus, the Diary of Čarnojević was published from the remains of Miloš Crnjanski's war diary in 1921, a turning point in the history of Serbian literature and one of its unreached peaks.
