Summary
Aleksandar Tišma: Conversations and interviews I
Questions to which Aleksandar Tišma answered include intimate ones, which concern his family and personal past, to general ones when he expresses his opinions on current socio-political issues and problems that haunt him. Some of his answers are short, simple and direct, while others resemble essayistic statements and passages that could easily be incorporated into his prose, travelogues, diaries and memoirs. Nevertheless, despite all this variety and variety, it is clear that in every given interview and every conducted conversation there is a figure of the same man, a man who does not change and who does not betray his beliefs and ideas for the sake of current popularity with the literary audience, critics, jury or the society in which he is. Tišma is unquestionably his in every statement, and because of this it is possible to trace the development of his ideological and poetic thought from the seventies to the end of his life.
In these conversations, Aleksandar Tišma gives additional context to his prose, poetry, drama, travel writing, memoir, autobiography, essay and other texts, as well as his numerous engagements in various literary and non-literary works, which makes these records they become an essential aspect of his life and work, but also valuable material for all his readers and researchers.
