Pronaći samu sebe

Pronaći samu sebe

Toby Litt

Victoria About, chick-lit spisateljica, poziva jedanaest prijatelja da besplatno provedu mjesec dana u unajmljenoj seoskoj kući kako bi napisala reality book o njihovim pustolovinama.

U nakani da skrivenim kamerama kontrolira svaki korak ukućana, namjenjujući im uloge u “predstavi” koju je režirala bez njihova znanja, Victoria postaje žrtvom njihovih intrigantnih sabotaža, ali i vlastite manipulacije. Toby Litt romanom ironičnoga naslova Pronaći samu sebe ispisuje bolno duhovit pastiš chick-lit žanra u kombinaciji sa satirom fenomena Big Brother i bezbrižnog homagea romanu To the Lighthouse Virginije Woolf. Ma koliko beznadežne bile Victorijine književne pretenzije, on smišlja razorno točnu imitaciju njezina stila. šaljivo se koristeći modernističkim motivima i strukturama, ne miješajući pritom pojmove “ozbiljan” i “težak”, koketirajući s intelektualnim svjetionikom tako silne radijacije kakva je ona Virginije Woolf te višeslojnošću postupaka, Litt u ovom romanu sabire razmišljanja o suvremenoj krizi privatnosti i nudi nam rijetko zabavnu i preciznu skicu za fenomenologiju dosade.
