Pravi se da ovo nisi vidio

Pravi se da ovo nisi vidio

Hrvoje Šalković

The main character of the novel is a typical loser - he taxis rich bums in Melbourne (or any city in the world) and wastes his life seemingly for nothing, suffers from chronic social mistrust and routine life inertia.

Until Charlie comes into his life, a leper dude who takes him on a trip to the West. The only landmark they have on the way is to escape from boredom and deal with it when it tries to dominate.

The dynamism of this road novel, unbridled rock rhythms, literary and musical associations, the attitude that life is mostly meaningless if you wait for it to come, and successful wise subtexts mythologize and brave man's attempts to discover the sleeping self that crouches inside him until something moves him. The kilometers that remain behind him open up those that are in front of him. The life philosophy of Šalković's characters will undeniably attract readers, as well as, after all, the author's indisputable literary reach.
