Gospodar zaborava

Oskar Davičo

Lord of Forgetfulness (1987) by Oskar Davič, a Serbian writer, is an experimental novel that combines poetry, prose, and philosophical reflection, exploring themes of memory, identity, and forgetting.

Set in a dark, abstract world, the novel follows the protagonists, twin brothers, who confront the mysterious figure of the Lord of Oblivion, a symbolic embodiment of entropy and the loss of meaning. The story is non-linear, interwoven with dreams, metaphors and surreal images, reflecting Davič’s avant-garde poetics.

The brothers, often inseparable in their inner struggle, wander through a labyrinth of memories, trying to preserve their own identity from the force of oblivion. The Lord, a manipulative figure, offers liberation from the pain of the past, but at the cost of losing themselves. The novel questions the nature of memory as the foundation of human existence, but also the burden it carries. Davičo uses a rich, poetic language, full of symbols and allusions to mythology, literature and history, often alluding to collective trauma and social change.

Through a fragmentary structure, Davičo creates an atmosphere of unrest and a search for meaning, where reality and dream merge. The Lord of Forgetting is a challenge for the reader, demanding active interpretation, but it offers a profound meditation on human consciousness, loss, and resistance to forgetting.
