Priče sa satnim mehanizmom

Faruk Šehić

Clockwork stories by Faruk Šehić is a book through which the sound of our era, the rhythm of its louder and quieter beats, unmistakably slows down.

Everything in it beats. Hearts, explosive devices and clocks of the kind we can only dream of – all of this constantly measures the time of man and the time of stars, the time of war and the time of unrest, past and future time, the time that flees and the time that we have irretrievably spent. Life is a clock, and between the hammer of lyricism and the anvil of hard prose, the writer tells us about change. In Clockwork Stories, countries and peoples, history and memory change at a dizzying pace, but above all the individual in whom all changes meet, the shapeshifter. Unfathomable to an ordinary clock, the speed of these disintegrations reveals the fragility of every identity – including that of our human nature. In Clockwork Stories, one of the best contemporary writers from this region sets out on the trail of that change, the end from which some new, no less permanent and solid, better or worse worlds are born.
