Visoke trave

Zoran Žmirić

Zoran Žmirić's Tall Grass is an ode to friendships that should last forever, a book about a generation whose dreams were forcibly stolen, but never stopped saving them...

Two kids, a basketball court, an argument about whether there was a threesome - that's how Robert and Goran's friendship began in 1985, one of those lifelong friendships, determined to survive many separations and differences. Neither their first love, nor different schools, nor the fact that one of them ran away from training to the gypsy lines, nor military service, nor the first multi-party elections, which were held in April for one, and for the other in April, separated them. And then came the dark nineties. Burnt houses, lines of battlefields, collapsed bridges, innocent memories and a bright future that neither one nor the other could count on in the blaze of their former life were overgrown in the tall grass. Their paths will meet again in Newbridge in the Republic of Ireland, where the tall grass is seemingly greener, but even there they will be overtaken by a series of unexpected twists and trials - from the seductive gypsy world of Irish travelers, through easy but dirty money, sex that has its price, to robberies and crime that could either separate them once and for all or bring them together on the right side of life.

Will the two of them cross that bridge or will they find themselves again in front of the ruins of the one they once burned? Will their inveterate friendship overcome all the topics that connect them or the one thing they will never be able to agree on?
