88
A piano usually has 88 keys, 52 white and 36 black, from which 88 tones emerge. A pianist usually reads 88 notes. These 88 micro-proses simultaneously constitute one piano and one piano concerto.
Each story is a tone, but all the stories gathered together, because that's how they should be read, as a whole, do not form a novel, as some might mistakenly think, but a precisely shaped musical form. At first glance, Nadija Rebronja's world is not mimetic, it does not describe reality, it does not testify in court. But just as Bach's Goldberg Variations do not describe reality, nor can they be used as evidence in court, and yet nothing speaks about reality as precisely as when Glenn Gould plays the Goldberg Variations while murmuring, so is 88, by Nadija Rebronja, the world and life derived in words. The music of existence. A wondrous, unbearably beautiful book, which this reader now considers his own. And the second, black, line, which reads: "- from a fast train you can see how the train breaks the world around us through the windows./ - it is necessary to break the world in order to build a new one from the pieces.", for the reader is the ultimate definition of travel.
