Summary

Boris Gregorić: Kali Juga

Gregorić in a way revives and revitalizes some of his more successful stories, but now lived through twenty years of experience living abroad, and restarts, institutes that certain wealth of imagination, vocabulary, and narration for which the American writer Charles Simic long ago compared him to Donald Barthelme, a significant American metafictionalist of the 60s, but more in terms of the breadth and diversity of the referential field, and less in the sense of thematic kinship.

In this collection, the writer in a way re-introduces us through the golden years of Croatian prose in the 70s and 80s, through those experiences that were recognized in such diverse groups as our Borges, the predecessors of the first and, I would say, the strongest generation of "Quorum", but now using a more realistic narrative model, less oriented towards finding linguistic bravado and stylistic acrobatics...

It is precisely these kinds of layered stories that are the succuss of something that exists as a precious counterbalance to the somewhat uniform production of realistic fiction that characterized the nineties. Some of the particularly successful stories are like small flashes in which just one word, one forgotten association, name or allusion, awakens in us the irony of nostalgic recognition of some times in which people lived more peacefully and happily, and which we tried in vain to erase or politicize, to the extent that Boris Gregorić stubbornly refuses to do so as a writer of extraordinary reach.
