Lana Derkač

Lana Derkač's stories tell about apocalyptic events, about love shipwrecks, about the moral dilemma of a thief or the boredom of a very ordinary god, about partners, families, vacations, relationships, breakups.

Lana Derkač in the Address of Death reveals herself as a skilled prose writer of poetic language that sometimes unpredictably, completely autonomously brings different atmospheres into her stories, from creepy to meditative, bringing a gallery of colorful characters such as a deadly lover, a swan, an idle god or a girl on devices, which are often themselves a premonition of a possible bad outcome of reality.

These are the texts that confront us with what has been happening in our lives for the past few years, the almost palpable fear of the apocalypse in the midst of a pandemic and an earthquake. The address book of death skilfully interweaves two opposing worlds, the one that is collapsing and the end of which is foreboding, and the one that, in spite of everything, in the small daily movements, habits, tenderness and attention we give to others, still continues to revolve around ourselves.

"Whenever I think of my brother, I actually think of the duality of the ruins - those in him and those around him. But ruins are always full of cracks where life has a place to hide. And the spirit of survival can be passed through them. If he knows how to distinguish those real cracks from their imitations that drag, seduce and lead to disaster, like the sirens that beckoned Odysseus. But even the human spirit is not always ready for adventures - or even for that crucial adventure of preserving one's own life."
