Summary
Davor Ivankovac: The third life
From the most explosive warehouse of punk blues in our geocult world comes a novel that, covering the time from the beginning of 1984, pulls a dynamically powerful and slow-motion sad story at the same time. And since he announces that the two lives from that chronotope are the prototext of his movement, then punk and blues as well as the plain against petrification prepare and develop that novel, that third Life. Davor Ivankovac's novel, with a combination of descriptive demandingness, event productivity and dialogic ease, initiates and fuses two temporally pre-located stories, and at the same time - simultaneously, therefore in fact - all the time - exposes the full state of the "third". Although, thanks to the mastery of blending images, it seems that sometimes we "lose" the ground under our feet of safety in the story we are in, the whole time we are kept in the "fantastic fire" of reading by the stylistics themselves, namely - a sentence that is capable of anything it wants, and in which the reader's experience has the full right not to follow reliability at all because it can enjoy the brilliant sentence kinetics itself.
