Uska ulica

Uska ulica

Čedomir Minderović

The story takes place in a narrow Belgrade street - nameless, but inspired by the real streets of Dorćol or Savamala - where the lives of poor workers, artisans, peasants and marginals intertwine.

The main narrator, a poet-witness (reminiscent of Minderović himself), wanders the street and records fragments of life: conversations in bars, love adventures, small joys and great sufferings of ordinary people. The central thread is the story of a young man from the street who dreams of a better life, but is trapped in the cycle of poverty, family obligations and social obstacles. Through a series of vignettes – from nighttime meetings in courtyards to daily conflicts in the market – Minderović shows how a narrow street becomes a metaphor for a narrow destiny: love is born and dies in the dark, friendships break down under the pressure of the economy, and dreams are extinguished in routine.

Michal Viewegh

The book contains about twenty stories connected into one whole by the main character (the writer Oskar). It is, therefore, a kind of novel that, through intimate confessions, actually talks about the loneliness of the modern intellectual.
