Summary
Vladimir Kecmanović: The Top Was Hot
The "Borislav Pekić" and "Meša Selimović" awards.
"It was hot at the top" by Vladimir Kecmanović is undoubtedly the bravest Serbian novel of the twenty-first century. - Slobodan Vladušić
"The cannon was hot is the most difficult poetic hit of Serbian literature in the name of the unspeakable suffering of the nineties. - Aleksandar Jerkov
"Kecmanović is a truly great writer in terms of his potential, one of those who could be remembered in Serbian literature of the first half of this century. And something else completely subjective: everything in me fights against this book, because everything I wrote on the subject of the siege of Sarajevo is against it, but I would never deny its greatness." - Miljenko Jergović
"At the beginning of the last century, there was Crnjanski, with his unrepeatable sentences without an end, which, interspersed with countless commas, poured over the readers like a sea. At the beginning of the next, this century, there is Vladimir Kecmanović, with a short, with pointed sentences that stick like nails in the forehead. We have closed the circle." – Bojan Bosiljčić
