Summary

Miljenko Jergović: Moving

What is the best opportunity to tidy up, to throw away unnecessary, accumulated things, to find those that we thought we lost long ago, to archive, to stack and rearrange? Such an extensive task cannot be given to oneself very often in life. Najbolja je prilika za to selidba. But often moving can be hectic packing in boxes that will remain unopened. There are few people who can do an inventory, look at things and slowly decide on them.

In an already mythical literary place, in Sarajevo's Sepetarevac, in the apartment where he grew up, where his mother died, where most of the legacy of the Stublers and Rejcs went, the author sifts through documents, books, material and immaterial remains, and the history of a suitcase family.

We go out, carrying a large IKEA checker, in which are arranged ten more of the same IKEA checkers. to pack things, which we will probably repack in boxes for the next visit to Sarajevo. I am not used to this. Once in a lifetime, one moves after oneself and the last traces of one's stay in a place, and of the ones who were born, then died, and were born again. And then I don't know what to do I should think that the problem is in my character, in my clumsiness and incompetence, in the fact that I was spoiled and unaccustomed to such events. It's as if they taught me this
