Summary

Ivica Ivanišević: The Book of Complaints

In Ivanišević's new novel, everything bursts with the realization that literature really has something to do with life, even if the writers strongly resist it. He placed his heroes, a quartet of writers, of different nations and poetic preoccupations, in a writers' residence in the "Romanian nowhere", where everyone should work on his book.

In isolated conditions they come with their private and professional "failures"; The Croat has just been stalked by Bivša, and he should be working as a humorist and Western writer in the fuch, a Finnish woman struggles with Gothic novels and looks like a model along the way, an elderly Russian writes another thick realistic novel about the horrors of communism in fear of the critic who terrorizes him, and a Czech woman, in addition to drinking and crying for her late husband, struggles with poetry about ultimate questions of meaning.

And here we come to the moment when we need to state that writers are only human, as Ivanišević successfully proves to us in a novel in which four very diverse voices, in the form of a diary, record their residential everyday life.

And it is full of drama, love triangles, sex, broken heads, lost daughters, alcohol and shenanigans, plots and twists worthy of the most tense novels, but also "silent" records about the writing process itself. The ability to pass through the filter of humor even those situations that don't seem funny at all, to give each character an original voice and to establish a hilarious dynamic worthy of a comedy of confusion even where it seems to us that everything is slow and boring (say, among writers), is a rare trait indeed, and Ivanišević, well, he possesses it.

Ivica Ivanišević was born in 1964 in Split. He graduated in sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb. He was a journalist and editor in Nedjeljna Dalmacija, Feral Tribune and Slobodna Dalmacija, where he is now a commentator.

He published the following books: "Smoje - biography" (Vuković & Runjić, 2004), "Sto mu jelenskih rogova" (essays on comics, V. B. Z, 2004), "Krovna udruga i seconda drama" (co-authored with Anto Tomić, Fraktura, 2005). He writes dramatic texts and scripts for film and television.
