Summary
Tatjana Gromača: Conquest of reading space
In the book of essays and reviews Conquest of reading space, the versatile writer Tatjana Gromača writes about writers such as Esterházy, Kristof, Döblin, Gide, Malraux, Platonov, Broch, Babelj, Calvino, Joyce, Genet, Conrad, Yourcenar, Kiš, Handke, Musil, Walser, Aleksijevič, Beckett, V. Woolf, Nabokov, Gombrowicz, Faulkner, Mishima... He writes about modern writers and our contemporaries, about books that are widely read today, but also about those that have been neglected, almost forgotten (like A. Gide), and it would be good to read them again. Just like Camus's books, which also have a polemical charge in them, so when it comes to his Plague, it is updated every time (thus, during the corona pandemic, it was one of the most frequently mentioned books). When a good writer reads other writers, there is special care and a particularly nice understanding of other writers. Tatjana Gromača preserves values with her writing. She knows that art obliges, requires our attention and mental responsibility in judging the work of art. Such is her reading. - From Predrag Finci's foreword
