The collection of essays by Gojko Božović "Somewhere between epochs" reveals that Serbian modern prose for the past seventy years has been created precisely on social and epochal boundaries
The book "Somewhere between epochs" is a collection of essays by Gojko Božović on key writers and poetics in Serbian prose of the second half of the last and the first decades of this century.
Collected in a book, Božović's essays reveal that modern Serbian prose was actually created on social and epochal boundaries, in a kind of intermediate space, somewhere between epochs, some of which are unfinished, while others have barely begun.
And so, seventy years ago, everything from Aleksandar Tišma and Milorad Pavić to Jelena Lengold and Goran Petrović, from Borislav Pekić and Miodrag Bulatović to Radoslav Petković and Mihajlo Pantić, from Dragoslav Mihailović and Svetlana Velmar-Janković to David Albahari and Vojislav Despotov, from Živojin Pavlović and Slobodan Selenić to Vida Ognjenović and Milisav Savić, from Danilo Kiš to Dobril Nenadić and Judita Shalgo.
The texts in the book "Somewhere Between Epochs" were written over three decades as prefaces and afterwords to the books they talk about, as presentations at conferences and contributions to anthologies, newspapers and magazines. Some of them have been translated into several languages, and several texts are published for the first time in this book.
Gojko Božović says that the oldest text in "Somewhere between epochs" was written in the mid-1990s, and the newest in the year of publication of this book.
"It is a long period of time, but even today, while I hand these texts to a possible reader in one place, I remember what the books in question meant to me in the first readings. Created in time and the fruit of time, these texts preserve both the traces of reading and the traces of the circumstances in which the books were read and understood. I believe that reading the books helped me to understand those circumstances as well. Reading books and texts about the books I read preserve the time that has passed," said Gojko Božović.
The publisher of his book "Somewhere between" is Štampar Makarije.
