Možeš pljunuti onoga tko bude pitao za nas

Robert Perišić

"You can spit on whoever asks about us" by Robert Perišić [first printed in 1999] is a cult book of stories from the nineties. It has not been on sale for years, so many who know Perišić from his more recent works have not had the opportunity to read this

The setting of this book is the shaken - in Naomi Klein's vocabulary, one would say - shocked world of the nineties. We could compare the atmosphere of these stories with films shot with a hand-held camera, without artificial lighting and without make-up. Such a literary impression is created by Perišić's uncensored social view, sometimes distorted style and openness to experiment - in places breaking the realistic norm [which critics from his generation, future Fakovians, criticized him for at the time] in order to authentically portray a shaken world.

In the recognizable environments of our nineties, Perišić seems to be looking for characters from the crowd, and by gradually speeding up the story, he makes us notice their uniqueness. In the foreground is their mostly youthful, often escapist will and imagination, and in the background is penetrating drum & bass realism. This is where the characters ride their existential rodeo; they hold on, they fall, they roll in the dust. In fact, like amateur bullfighters, they rub a red rag in front of what they are running away from. A book that will not leave you indifferent.
