Summary
Silvija Benić: Eklipsa
The book Eklipsa gathers fragments from Silvija Benić's manuscript legacy, fragments of her works signed with heteronyms from the last decades of the last century. Complete separation from the public leaves room for questioning: Who was Silvija Benić? The multipersonality of her artistic creation sets her apart from the context of her contemporaries, which can be interpreted as a reflection of the literary process, but it is also information for the biography. The range of her work in the book is covered by the symbolic parabola of the eclipse; with the metaphor of a dark star that shaped life's path and creativity with its enigmatic glow. The fragments seem like monologues broken down into the voices of various personalities, or echoes of beings deconstructing their elation, sadness and fear and shaping them into fascinating sections about tenderness, violence and grace. The book is a dedication to her sister Silvija, who inspired me with the strength and vastness of her spirit for crucial creative journeys. The book is Gordana Benić's dedication to her sister Silvija, who inspired her with the strength and vastness of her spirit for crucial creative journeys. Also, the book testifies to the deep bonds of their twin souls, which are inextricably linked.
