Vrag ne spava
And in her second book of columns, playwright Tena Štivičić leads a battle against general media, intellectual, aesthetic and moral superficiality.
As a thoughtful contrast to the columnist cultivated by colorful women's magazines, she is a sharp and deliberate decontamination of our everyday gossip and kitsch. The pure space of the author's witty language becomes the only means of resistance against the supremacy of form over content, recycling over originality, consumerism over critical thinking. By exposing the mechanisms by which we play the roles assigned to us as citizens, consumers, men and women, Tena Štivičić provides a sharp diagnosis of the "wear and tear" of the time in which we live. Witty and thoughtful analyzes of the symptoms of frequent scheduling of common sense prove that the author certainly does not suffer from bystander syndrome, but stands up against the constant lowering of the threshold of tolerance for the various benign and malignant nonsense that we are surrounded by.
