Summary
Kruno Čudina: Letters for them
Kruno Čudina in the prose Letters for them speaks in epistolary form - letters addressed to key real or fictitious people from his biography.
This book was written with the passion of a man for whom language is the only remaining space to meet all those who are absent and missing. Some of them are no longer among the living or their existence by mistake did not even happen; many are in distant worlds that can only be reached by words; many in the past that will not be repeated or in the future for which the chances are minimal - but they are all very present in the emotional register of the author who must address them because, in one way or another, they are his most vivid present.
Writing his letters, Kruno Čudin uses language as a tool to overcome the apathy and silence of the world, the dullness of the spirit, the superficiality of contemporary communication, distance of one kind or another and everything else that makes us less human and more officials of the collective.
Letters for them is a poignant, powerful, filigree prose composed of letters that do not ask for an answer, but will most certainly find their place among devotees of real, genuine literature that defeats the indifference of the world with its language.
