Vrata od utrobe

Mirko Kovač

Along with Crystal Grids, The Door of the Womb is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Kovač's novelistic art, but also one of the novelistic pinnacles of recent novels in the South Slavic speaking area.

The novel Vrata od utrobo is the most awarded novel by Mirko Kovač, crowned with the "NIN award" - the most prestigious award for a novel in South Slavic regions in 1978 and the "Željezara Sisak Award" in 1979. It was the most read book in 1980, and in the selection of the most respected intellectuals in the magazine Dani Vrata od utrobo, it was declared the best novel of the twentieth century, right after Meša Selimović's Dervish and Death and Ivo Andrić's Travnička Chronicles.
