Ubožnica za utvare - Deset pripovijesti o nemogućim ljubavima
Rešicki, a writer of the middle generation, restores a somewhat lost dignity to Croatian prose with "Almshouse for Ghosts", no matter how worn out and compromised the latter word may be.
Two years ago, Delimir Rešicki published the book of poems Aritmija, which represented his most extensive and certainly most ambitious poetic work to date. On this occasion, Rešicki appears with a collection of stories, which shows that the short stories from the collection "Sagrada familie" were not a random excursion into prose. Delimir Rešicki is one of the most significant authors affirmed within the Quoruma literary generation of the eighties of the last century, and today he rightly plays the role of proofreader in contemporary Croatian literature. In the middle of the eighties of the last century, when poetry was almost eaten by various experiments, many of them completely on the edge of reason, Rešicki appeared and with his strong, vibrating verses gave poetry its reason for existence. From the first collection of poems, "Gnomes", to the last, "Arrhythmia", Rešicki traces the path of poetry (and other poets), which in times when entertainment and spectacle devour every ambitious form of culture, is not at all a simple and harmless thing. The collection of stories "Ubožnica za utvare" is expertly composed and stylized prose in which we recognize the young Rešicki from "Sretnih ulica", who grew up on rock and roll, but in which the forty-one-year-old predominates (and logically) who makes it clear that he has read and understood Kafka, Rain , Musil or Hamvasa, that he saw through most of life's tricks, and that he takes things with a grain of salt, observing them from a distance.
