Summary

Lejla Kalamujić: Call me Esteban

Through the nineteen stories of this award-winning collection ("Edo Budiša" award for the best collection of short stories in the area from which translation into Croatian is not required, 2016) we follow the heroine's emotional journey from unreliable memories of her mother who passed away early, through her childhood with an alcoholic father who is never there, grandparents who slowly decay and die before her eyes, a country that is falling apart, the world is changing, right up to the discovery of sexuality and the worries brought about by existence.

The motif of the mother seems to run through all of them like an omnipresent spiritus movens and unobtrusively takes us through the emotional life of the heroine, introducing us to pre-war, war and post-war Sarajevo, "paradise", mixed marriages, Šida as a place of refuge, hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital - with Eros and Thanatosom.

The collection of Lejla Kalamujić is an authentic testimony about the fate of a family whose writing is a kind of act of courage and facing the darkest, most difficult part of man.
