Povijest pornografije
At the age of forty, Goran Tribuson published a book that will permanently win over the readership. The novel "History of Pornography" and the year 1988 will be on every list of anthology readings and important years for contemporary Croatian prose.
The narrator Stanislav Ivančić is old enough to have the need to reconstruct events from the joint history of Klapa, wise enough to lukewarmly distance himself from the fervor of the socialist era, and disillusioned enough not to look for a way out in pop culture content and the language of literature.
Here, as always, Tribuson is brilliant in detail and story-telling, witty in his diagnoses and suggestive in his evaluations. The reader reads his own commentary in the sentences of his narrator. All these once different people, successful or unsuccessful, respected or despised, have done with their lives mostly the opposite of what they intended to do.
If until the appearance of "History of Pornography" someone doubted whether Tribuson was a widely loved and beloved writer, after that year in 1988, and it didn't last long, there was no room for doubt anymore. The audience's love is ensured by sites where things are undressed.
