Summary

Slavenka Drakulić: What we don't talk about

At dinner with friends, the topic of the will falls among the plates and glasses - and everyone pretends that they are not embarrassed. In a tavern below the hill, an elderly couple argues over a small matter: she wants to go home before dark, he still keeps the wine at the table, but in the silence between the spoken words, all the weight of life together and missed opportunities echoes. In the hospital room, a mother holds her daughter's hand, remembering the time when she could do everything, and now she can only be present.

In the Balkans, where we face something that is perhaps worse than conflict - with silence - where words are often swallowed because of shame, fear or other people's expectations, Slavenka Drakulić talks about what simultaneously scares us and unites us: about losses we don't acknowledge, about love that has passed, about unlived, insecurity, about dealing with own mortality, about the last moment of closeness and about loneliness. Her stories, subtle and deeply insightful, at the same time encourage us to face what we keep quiet, and maybe even hide from ourselves.
