Summary
Milan Micić: Why the rooster stopped crowing and other colonist stories
An ironic and satirical narrator of the historical reality in the experience of the Vojvodina colonists (in wounds and brandy, delusions and defeats), often a humorist (burlesque, grotesque), often painful (as Vuk would say), satanic voice of Milan Micić over the virtuous destinies of the colonists vibrates in ranges from a rough picture of reality, to laughter, tears and lyrical oases, establishing the colonist story as a new type in contemporary Serbian literature.
Dušan Ivanić
The rich imagination of Milan Micić revives an ancestral world, so that the present becomes clearer to us, and as much as it succeeds in literature, it is so sobering and calls for historical awareness. It is a valuable example of how, through the art of the written word, gaps within a nation can be bridged and the right path to its cultural and spiritual integration and healing can be found.
