Summary
Lucija Tunković: The Umbilical Cord
Cosmopolitan, romantic, bohemian Paris is the trigger for the protagonist of the novel to immerse herself in the history of her family, in growing up and in a deeply problematic relationship with her mother and recently deceased father. The omniscient storyteller who remembers everything, including her own birth, delves deeply into the trauma of growing up in a dysfunctional family in a small, once industrial town on the banks of several rivers. Expanding and chewing over family tragedies and happiness, poverty, wars, alcoholism, women who obey their husbands, the narrator not only exposes us to her childhood and youth, but above all creates a memorable protagonist. She is a girl who can realize her self only if she faces all the suppressed feelings, unspoken longings, desires and failures of her ancestors, with all the preserved and unspoken baggage of family heritage. We follow her as she changes from a tiny baby and girl to a teenager to a young self-aware woman, with her we experience quarrels and loves, conflicts with parents and drunken parties with colleagues, sexual adventures, painful departures, difficult words and rare moments of intimacy.
Lucija Tunković, with her polished style and excellent narrative voice, becomes the author of a generation that brings us all the fears, hopes, happiness and misfortunes of those born in the war, who grew up in transition and post-transition, millennials torn between the worlds of their parents and their own, which they fail to build because they are collapsing in plain sight. The Umbilical Cordis powerful, original prose about the need to break the toxic connection with the past, which is only possible if we truly face it.
