Summary
Tatjana Gromača: Mrs. O.
Ms. O. is a housewife, mother, wife and literary translator, and her world is a powerful introspective female world; we follow the events in her family, her relationship with her husband, raising and caring for her child, caring for her parents, and many seemingly unimportant moments of everyday life are exactly those small events in which the magic of life and of this lyrical-philosophical novel is revealed.
Ms. O.'s inner monologues seem to evoke the same Broch's breakdown of social values and the crumbling of a person's personality, in which every day is a struggle and a miracle, somewhere on the border between dream and reality, in twenty-four chapters seasons, changes and repetitions alternate, as if the whole life fits into one day, or even an hour and, although endings are inevitable, it is allowed to spend the day walking the dog admiring the perfection of a snowflake in spring or to be part of the magical day of the birth of one's own child. She thought of the orange tree, which she saw during her morning walks with the dog, sparkling from the winter, foggy morning with its beautiful colors, offering large, spherical oranges to that winter morning, surrounded by the dark green leaves of that tree, so graceful and elegant, so self-sufficient, so self-fulfilled and rounded, amidst all the hustle and bustle and all the ugliness, like one outcast in its beauty, a miracle. Isn't it wonderful to witness the existence of that tree, those oranges standing, hanging on it, the whole background, the garden where she saw that scene this morning, amazed and grateful for it, she asked herself? And isn't what life sometimes offers us just such a kind look, full of finesse, as it is possible to find between the covers of some books, in certain music, in some building that could be admired in the silence of someone who has forgotten the fact of his own belonging to the world of tangible, more refined things, against which this world harbors a deep animosity, a desire to destroy, she wondered, in that short hour?
