Interview: Saša Ilić, writer

No story of resistance is a story of defeat

A characteristic of each of the narrative streams is learning about different forms of resistance. That's why I wrote the novel under a working title Resistance, although I knew I wouldn't publish it under that title. Over time, I realized that there is a common denominator between that working title and the place where the action takes place - the mountain Rtanj, two letters that remind us of the chemical element that the heroes of my novel are fighting for. And that is the "Cape", which, in addition to denoting the protruding free part of the land, is also a symbol for Freedom - a critical mineral that we desperately lack.

A quiet destructive narrative

Jubilees: Forty years since the album Party breakers (Jugoton, 1985)

They invented a different reality

The forty years that have passed since the release of probably the most important garage blues-rock release in this area makes us think about the far-reaching importance of the "Partibrejkers" group. If you were crazy and brave enough, that is, if you even existed in the early eighties - you couldn't stay the same after listening to their first record. Today we would say that the sound delivered on it was pure punk with attitude, but also with the taste, smell and sensuality of the city of Belgrade from that long ago in 1985. And that of at least a billion decibels. It was impossible to go further than that. And you shouldn't

We never looked retro, but the way people who are not ready to humiliate themselves look. Who is to blame for the enslaved majority who humiliate themselves by following seasonal trends?

The Tarantino phenomenon

Comic Django is a vivid, dynamic and brutal story that elaborates on characters and situations only hinted at in the film. The plot has been expanded with several new narrative decorations, which contributes to the relief, and the development of Broomhilda's fate, which in the comic book adaptation is a kind of flywheel of the plot, is particularly noteworthy.
