Djeca Patrasa
Zoran Ferić's storytelling in "Children of Patras" is a feast of linguistic and associative inventiveness, constantly sliding along the border between the real and the possible, the true and the made-up.
This is especially important because Ferić has no other ambition than to tell us the story of the life events of a cheerful sufferer, as there are thousands around us, and as we ourselves are, different only in that he decided to cross the border of his own experiences and trials and achieve what remains in the middle-aged man's censored possession of the most intimate male fantasy.
Ferić's obsession with illness, visible to a lesser or greater extent in all his stories and novels, and illness is always a sign of the symbolic presence of death in every moment of living consciousness, here acquires an almost metaphysical force, at the same time irresistibly, fatally attractive, with an inevitable novelistic, melancholic chord on at the very end.
"Children of Patras" is one of the most beautiful romance novels we have read lately. Even though it is about the "forbidden love" of a professor and a sick student, the commissions can strangely remain calm because everything that happens between them, and love happens, is more than based on literature
