Tomorrow night, the Gallery's Progress (Knez Mihailova 27), at 20h, there will be a spectacular promotion of the novel "The house is full of cracks" by Danica Nikolic.
We carry impressions of this part, written by Perisic and Perisa Minja Bogavac.
Roman-hyperbole (n)
Where angels afraid to step out, Danica Nikolic Nikolic's long-stepped. Thrown into the abyss of their own past and from there to accuse appeal (the decision is irreversible) ill fortune, destiny. Rich in excesses, controversial as the naive, doomed, as only a grandson Milutin Bojic may be, the author of the work transports private elitism and opposes it populist genre of romantic novel, a family reading street slang, academism (ef-de-in-ism) juicy curses and black humor, sometimes ambiguous and often deliberately vulgar.
Wishing to shock, it first gets shocked by revelations about myself, and it is this paradoxical turn disarms all potential critics of its thinking and stylistic syncretism. Touching portrait of a bombastic raspričane a nedopričane, but not run over the dead youth. After reading this apartnog pseudobiografskog novels (more than a dummy) remains a dilemma to you, written also in the author's manner: whether to wash my face or to kill? Crying in međučinovima is required. Wipes are, however, optional.
to oust him (little) a civil suit and dive. Deep. They do not call it just like that (the author, of course): Daniel-Blue graves.

first
manuscript of this book I received as Fw. He arrived in my inbox, without the accompanying letters or comments. When I asked Helen Bogavac what I was actually sent, she said only that it is a new book by Danica Nikolic Danica Nikolic-.
Since it was performed the administrative vratoloma adding husband's surname, Jelena and I started Day that addresses the very official. Full name (not 2 say: both names!), With all the censorship in place of dashes, and significantly raising eyebrows. Ah, yes ... News that she married, we got the same time as books of poetry, with her name instead of a title. ("Hey, ladies! Smack-smack. What's up ?"..." Nothing special. I just got married a little and issued zbirčicu. "-?)
So the style of" formal salutation "actually turned into a proper indication of the full title of her collection. Danica Nikolic Danica Nikolic became the square. Became the title of his book. In a way, become their own books. Short: an artifact. Called by some friendly nickname, or just a name, like any other, would be to not understand ... even worse! Would be to ignore its clear, comprehensive and consistently implemented the concept: I am my art. No, that's what I write, but that I live. Writing is just a consequence. Packing my life in a durable, high quality packaging.
I must admit that I previously Danica experienced a similar way. Socialized and worked with Helen. Drew with us ... Laughed out loud. Dye lips in all possible colors, expressive smoking long cigarettes. Lots of fun and talk ... Have I already mentioned I laughed? ... With my šiparičko-secondary aspect, this to me seemed a colleague Jelenina Moving Theatre, each worthy of applause. Each have her new one, who understood the back for an encore. Yet I was not sure whether she herself is aware of that? The answer came in her first collection. A few years later, when we have been colleagues and when we could be proud of notable student project: "Snoring is a duet," which are dedicated to working in the projection of boring movies in the small hall of FDA's.
Title: "Daniel" by Danica Nikolic Nikolic-to me it has left a serious, artistic impression. From Morning Star I learned to be a writer does not just write books and plays, but design and what you write in the ID. And even then, when suddenly rushed to the Dominican, I found it to be in their own way deals with dramaturgy.
And how is working on their second, third ... fifth, final or infinite version of his life. His plays.
What is the book, I asked Helen. She did not say good. She did not say bad. She said only: "For days I think of it." ... Not her, like a book. New - Danica. I downloaded the "house full of cracks" on your desktop. And then, for some reason, or for nothing in particular, has not opened for weeks.
second
Leeds, United Kingdom. AM. Hotel room. The no smoking sign on the wall. Smoke alarms in the ceiling. My computer and me. Alone. Thousands of miles away from home ... I watch him, he looks at me. And then, as if to smile. In fact, as to laugh at the Dana, loud-infectious way.
I finally click on the icon to me for some time standing on your desktop. "HOUSE. doc ". Open.
book I read in one breath.
book left me breathless.
do not know when I first lit a cigarette. I do not know how the past, or where the swollen free-breathing night. At dawn, something is in my room zapištalo. Alarm Clock! Have already? ...
yet I was not able even to turn around, when the door burst fire.
Bride (foreign language is always a-side) I tried to explain that I am not guilty of any kind for any fire ... Yes, yes. Maybe I smoked a hell, but it's not ... It's not that ... The point is to read literature extremely flammable! You see, my friend's biography has reached boiling point ... and if you were so kind as to remove the Vatrosprem and leave me to finish the chapter, I will empty the ashtray itself, and starting tomorrow tobacco leave ... "Hop,". ... Foreign language is, as I said, foreign, and the English are not nice or polite as they tend to make out.
For breakfast, all eyes are on me. Foreign language is ... Well, side, and I fail to play around with words: novel piroman ... Appalled by colleagues from Europe should be more detailed explanation. Daničinoj talk about the book ... and much more confusing. In fact, talking about Danica. As the grandson of the great Serbian writer and as the youngest student ever admitted to the department of dramaturgy. As the extremely talented person and that is very sexy and i. .. I talk some more things that do not mention here, that you would not have revealed the action of the novel ... I speak as I just discovered Serbian "Fear of Flying", Belgrade's "Sex and the City" and the Caribbean Anais Nin, 3 in 1 - and talk about how she laughs, and talk some lipstick smear in. .. Then I hear the question: "This is her autobiography?" ...
Well, I say ... Yes.
"How old is the author?", He asked me seriously, a senior fellow. Recognized and well known European playwright and writer.
Hm. How old is? ... Actually, I do not know. It has nine and ninety years, I say. Depends ... From chapter to chapter. In any case, Daniel was young.
I say this more in the sense that the Danica of those who will remain in the ninety years young ... "If so, is it not a bit too early for her memoirs?" ...
We did not understand. Foreign language is ... in this case is good. The man across from me, you would not understand even if told in 100% of Belgrade's jargon. Suddenly
to understand. Silent about the answer.
Who decides when the time is right for memoirs? It says somewhere? There is such a rule? ... And who, after all, drew the boundary between memoir and fiction? Fiction and autobiography? ... Is not everything ever written, also, a kind of autobiography of a writer? Have one could write about someone else? Something else? Something that has nothing to do with I, which has nothing to do with personal experience? Something that we are not concerned, therefore, something of which we have no idea?
course you can.
can thus be written. The question is: who can read?
third
talk to Helen. I tell her, really, and I think the days to Danica. Talk with other people ... When the lead story on "women's manuscript", "female writing", "women's writing in the Serbs' and "the most important local piskinjama", never fails to mention Danica Nikolic, squared.
always falls into the same trap, and talking about her book, I find myself talking about it ... "The house is full of cracks" for me is inseparable from her cracked laughter, her color rose, her name, namely: administrative stunts and its breakneck-srcolomne biographies, all of its address, its crazy courage ... And that's fine.
not right what about some writers (and writers, of course) can go on and otherwise. It is not right that in general we talk about them when we are not given for any reason. Why do we do those that can not deal with them?
What is there? White space between lines. Letters in a logical order. Quite without passion. Simply: the letters - which nothing is written. No foreign or domestic ... in any language.
Speaking of Danica, actually talk about writing. Walk the line: life - the story, and this line in her case, wires, a hundred meters high from the ground. Thousands of miles away from home ... And there's no safety net. No return ticket. Suflera No, no make-up girls, there is no playwright or director.
Meet Danica! Her life and story ... Wonderful, exciting Danica: Mobile Theater.
