Dejan Stojiljković: Constantine’s Crossroads (Laguna, 2010, second edition)
By: Lamija Neimarlija
Constantine’s Crossroads is Dejan Stojiljković bestseller which received awards such as Svetosavski pečat (2010) and Miloš Crnjanski (2009), while also shortlisted for the Nin Award for Best Novel of the Year (2010).
The novel features elements of horror, action, fantasy and history. The plot is set in Niš, occupied by the German armed forces in 1944, with raging conflicts between chetniks and partisans. It also deals with the search for the sword of Constantine (by Adolf Hitler’s orders) that brings world domination to the person who owns it, and is hidden in the underground tunnels somewhere in Niš.
Ante Tomić: Tadpoles (Ljevak, Zagreb / Rende, Beograd, 2011)
By: Ivan Telebar
In his latest novel Tadpoles, Ante Tomić takes us back to 1975 through the eyes of a twelve-year old girl who spends another summer with her parents away from the heat of the city asphalt to have a few unforgettable days at her grandparents’ place. For the narrative backbone, the author takes an ordinary, not at all specific holiday situation of an average family. However, Tomić has become known in Croatian literary circles as a masterful painter of the everyday with a sharp eye for details which most of us often neglect to see.

Tanja Mravak: We Have to Talk, (Algoritam, Zagreb, 2010)
By: Leda Sutlović
Fragments of intimate, everyday situations set in Dalmatia are the topic of Tanja Mravak’s first collection of short stories. There are fifteen, not twenty stories, as mentioned in the blurb, offering personal perspective on couples who are stuck with the same routine, leading boring and predictable lives. Some of the couples are young, decent and educated, others are middle-aged, living with their children and parents under one roof; there are couples who are poor and unemployed, adulterers, couples who can barely stand each other…

ESEJ – Razvaline socijalizma kao inspiracija za muzejske eksponate Mrđana Bajića i skulpturalne dosetke Ivana Fijolića
By: Milena Milojević
Piše: Nino Kovačić
Gostujuća izvedba šibenskog HNK, Pir malograđana, prema tekstu mladog Bertolda Brechta (napisan 1919.) izvedena je po sljedećoj formuli: na Danima satire u satiričkom kazalištu Kerempuh gledamo satiričan komad. Prema reakcijama publike, bila je uspješna, ali teško se oteti dojmu da je smijeh bio formulaično zagarantiran, jer bi takav instruirani moment humora trebao zauzdati spontani smijeh. Je li se možda radilo o “malograđanskom” humoru?
Glumice i to, KNAP, Zagreb, premijera 12.5.2012.
Piše: Nino Kovačić
Glumice i to, nova predstava u zagrebačkom KNAP-u, neobičan su kazališni ‘slučaj’. Naime, predstavu su, dramaturški i režijski osmislile te, naravno, glumački ostvarile četiri mlade glumice. U trenutačnoj opće-društvenoj, pa tako i kazališnoj situaciji, kojom prijete olovni pojmovi poput recesije, prekarijata i outsourcinga (nedavno su najavljena i otpuštanja “hladnopogonskih” glumaca), one su, kako piše u najavi “nezaposlene i pune entuzijazma, odlučile su preuzeti stvar u svoje ruke i napraviti hit!”. Očito sklone postdramskom pristupu izvedbi koji se, između ostalog, bazira na ekipnoj work-in-progress metodi, izvedbenoj anti-iluziji i autoreferencijalnosti, glumice/autorice su se “trgnule” i napravile parodiju o tome kako rade predstavu, po ironičnom ključu: kad ne ide pravljenje predstave treba napraviti predstavu o tome kako se ne može raditi predstava.
