Bajke za plažu

Bajke za plažu

Simo Mraović

60 ironic, bittersweet urban fairy tales are collected in the book Fairy Tales for the Beach. Mraović's short prose has kept the humor trained at Harms and does not fall into the trap of appealing stories "for all ages".

"Mraović finds those moments of urban everyday life in which sometimes a grain of fairy-tale shines, some unusual things happen (like, for example, a baby found in front of the apartment door or a mistress set up by her husband), and then everything returns to normal again. The fiction/faction prose texts in this book, whose purpose is primarily columnist, although full of real events and characters (such as meetings of writers, the Berlin Film Festival, artistic provocations in the theater and performances or the breasts of Blanka Vlašić), always stray at least a little into literaryization, and although written for newspapers, they do not deviate too much from the rest of the bound material. Mraović is a witty phenomenologist of seduction, who will carefully note the typology of women's feet, problematize the pheromone, offer a solution to the formula for a happy and rich marriage and demystify prejudices about blondes, but on the other hand, he is also very seriously critical of the position of culture in the media, the status of gay individuals in to our society or the phenomenon of folk people." (Jagna Pogačnik, Jutarnji list)
