Summary
Nikica Petrak: Unspoken speech - random notes
Nikica Petrak's book of essays on literary topics with its openness to the "known" topos of our literary heritage - from Dživa Bunić to Krleža, from folk songs to Goethe - dissolves the apparent gap between the inherited and the contemporary both at the level of literary ideas and their expression. The author, who calls himself (of course ironically) a conservative, defines the need to read poetry despite or in spite of trends and technical innovations, and achieves an amazing insight into a new reading with new discoveries. Perhaps the best example of this is the essay on Tin Ujević.
