Summary
Simo Mraović: Cheat me gently
With his last collection of songs Gmünd Simo Mraović definitely won over the audience with endlessly witty, painfully and absurdly honest lyrics. With this book, he very successfully proves that he has earned his place not only in contemporary Croatian literature, but also among sexologists, psychologists, and soul healers.
His columns entitled Sex and Simo i tamo published on T-portal in the last two years are followed as cult reading in sequels, a literary work in progress. Printed as a book, they show their completeness and consistency.
The heroes are Nastasja Filipovna, madly in love, wounded Crni, confused Sunčica, overcomplicated Zavrzlani, unhappy Čahurica, jealous Zvrkonja... Cheerful, bitter, literary and relaxed, the book is read in one breath. But every single "story" and laughs, touches, makes you think. Simo Mraović manages to seduce us and show us all the luxury and joy of literature even after the already cult novel Konstantin Bogobojazni and seven collections of poems.
