Summary
Jasmin Agić: The Role of Josip Broz in the Life of Grandfather Sulejmen
Jasmin Agić's novel is marked by the experience of a generation that recognized in literature the possibility of dealing with the trauma of historical heritage and accepted the literary text as a scene of personal reckoning with modern myths of the Golden Age. The narrator of this story is something like an investigator who navigates the labyrinths of family history, tasked with distinguishing reality from legend, fact from fiction, truth from confabulation. One of his realizations will be that the intimate world of the family has always stood unreconciled with the ideological and political mythomania of the past era. Matija Bosniak
