Druga knjiga: Dnevnik jedne robije

Žarko Laušević

Continuation of Laušević's autobiographical book "A year passes, a day never". This diary novel follows the actor's life after the verdict for the murder of two people in Podgorica in 1993, focusing on the four and a half years he spent in prison.

Faced with guilt and punishment, Laušević records his inner turmoil, fears, and struggle to maintain sanity in the harsh prison environment. Through sharp commentary and concise storytelling, he avoids self-pity, offering a candid insight into life behind bars.

The book describes encounters with other prisoners, guards, and family visits, revealing the emotional distance that prison creates. Laušević masterfully uses humor, often Chekhovian-like subtle or absurd, to lighten the weight of situations, such as the description of the prison library where "Animal Farm" is grouped among books about animals.

For Laušević, writing serves as a survival mechanism, helping him cope with the feeling of lack of freedom and questioning his own conscience. Although aware of the tragedy he has caused, Laušević distinguishes between attack and self-defense, not justifying himself, but seeking meaning in suffering. The book has been praised for its documentary prose, deep honesty, and literary power, often compared to the works of Meša Selimović.
