Summary
Nada Gašić: Quiet street, tree-lined
On the night of August 20, 2003, someone killed Emanuel Pongračić, a treated 'pity drinker', in a particularly cruel way, driving the glove of his Ray Ban glasses through his eye all the way to his brain. But that is just the beginning of a tangle of various deaths in a quiet tree-lined street. Who is right and who is wrong, are we living with murderers or is the globally disturbed, overheated climate to blame for everything? Nada Gašić's first novel, "Peaceful street, lined with trees" portrays the inhabitants of a street and gives a view of Zagreb - a city that is metropolitanally diverse and provincially exclusive, hypocritical and cruel - so well and convincingly that you will want to move away from it, despite the peace and the tree-lined streets. But don't, all cities are similar, life mostly takes place sheltered in apartments. The problem starts when the street starts entering the apartments. No knocking. Namely, cities are only stone formations, innocent by definition. Spirit and responsibility are given to them by the residents, in a democracy the voters, and in a quiet street they are unrealized spies, ladies who are only looking for their own peace, homosexuals in deep illegality, elderly neighborhood dudes, murderers from morning mass, schizophrenics, policemen, people without a passport... panoramically observed, magnified and resolved, caught in the comedy and hell of their everyday life.
