Plavi žaket - slikovnica

Dušan Radović’s Plavi žaket is a playful collection of short stories, poems, dialogues and dramatic sketches. Humour, absurdity and verbal invention connect pieces written for different purposes, revealing an imagination equally at home in literature, radio and television.

The collection opens with unusual stories featuring Miki-Liki, driven by surprising turns and unexpected conclusions. Further sections include Druge priče and the radio play Slučaj leve noge. Poems such as U špajzu and the title piece appear alongside a poetic exchange with Gustav Krklec and texts from the television series Ženski razgovori.

Radović approaches human habits and emotions through seemingly simple situations. An ordinary conversation, a misunderstanding or an unlikely premise becomes an opportunity to overturn familiar expectations. His compact forms encourage readers to discover the comic and extraordinary within everyday experience.

Dušan Petričić’s illustrations complement this inventive spirit. Moving between narrative, verse and dialogue, the book offers a varied reading experience: individual pieces can be enjoyed independently, while together they reveal the breadth of Radović’s distinctive humour.
