Summary
Ivan Zrinušić: It's called a pulse
It's called a pulse is a book that ticks the everyday life of an unusual seven-year-old, an unusual lyrical subject and at the same time a prose hero, because the rhythm of this work on the bridge is a kind, it is both a poem and a novella in verses and a poem in prose, and traces of the essayistic fabric from the perspective of the children's cosmos are visible. That boy's world does not match the "normal" way of seeing, he sees the world in numbers: I am just numbers too. I told David that once before when he was playing a game because the game is just numbers and he didn't say anything. Whether it is sympathy for Tina and the teachers, who never say boring words, to his friend David, to mom and dad, or to his dearest being - grandma, this charming literary seven-year-old takes us into a world where he communicates with his imaginary friend, and we forget that we are reading a book at all, that there is a kind, an author, Zrinušić, the Planet library and boring words, we type, in the rhythm of a boy's heart, and we know that there is a high probability that we are just reading a masterpiece or we are completely lost in fantasy. In any case, it should be added that even when we understand absolutely nothing, this unique text is an ode to our grandmothers that our blood flows and that we exist. "You don't understand anything because if you did you wouldn't be silent all the time Or you understand everything and no one can understand everything because everything doesn't exist And everything is nothing but you can't understand everything you can only understand nothing And you don't understand anything"
