Propali kongres

The media and political wars are reaching their peak and people are filled with fear of what is about to happen. Vinko Dogan is an inspector of the SUP, arrogant, unpleasant and authoritarian, but one of the best. During that January, a strange, mysterious figure appears in Zagreb, threatening to poison a large number of people with the help of cyanide injected into food items that citizens buy in department stores and shops. This guy, who calls himself the Hornet, begins his dark plan, blackmailing the city administration with a large amount of German marks. Panic spreads throughout the city, food sales, except for those in bulletproof cans, almost cease, and Inspector Dogan, who is on the trail of a maniacal killer, is increasingly troubled by the question of whether this strange guy is actually engaged in some completely different plan. One of the most popular contemporary Croatian writers, a prose writer with a large and genre- and thematically diverse opus from which we can single out anthological titles within each cycle, Goran Tribuson is an author equally loved by readers, critics, and serious academic circles. All of this is an almost incredible status for such a vital writer, who publishes a new prose work approximately every two years. Tribuson, of course, did not achieve it through any social or media strategies or engagements of any nature, but solely through his talent and independence, which means his literary and personal authenticity, driven only by the passion of a passionate storyteller who tackles genres and themes on his own impulse or interest, beyond trendy pressures or expectations.
