Summary
Lejla Kalamujić: Hurry up and invent a city
Already when opening the first pages of the book Hurry up and invent a city, these wonderful stories become our close companions, unforgettable songs that echo in our minds as we do life as an obligation. Lejla Kalamujić obliges us in a completely different way, with sentences that remind us that one of the most important achievements in life is not to get used to everyday cruelty, to the cynicism of the world and rules that we do not feel are our own. It is quite certain that this is the only way to save the little that is "enough to make life beautiful" in Lejla's stories. In Lejla's stories, the tired and hurt, but huge heart of the city is preserved, which through the book grows, expands and inevitably grows into its readers. Lejla connects us with other people's destinies with a bandage that wraps newborns and the wounded. Woven, wrapped in those sentences, emotionally exposed and protected by their treasures and with unwavering, wise courage, we are ready to build the city again, to invent ourselves Olja Savičević Ivančević
