About the novel Tinja <\/b>Kal\u00e1sz<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The story of the northernmost Serbs, those who lived and still live around Szentendre in Hungary, can also be seen asrecognition of the point where the emotion of Bora Stankovi\u0107\u2019s Ko\u0161tana<\/i> and the musical phrase of Jimi Hendrix meet.<\/p>\n

The unusual journey of Mitke\u2019s ducats from Vranje in the south, to Pecs and Kal\u00e1sz in the north, in this kaleidoscopic novel, is narrated as a series of parallel histories. The different forms in which Stankovi\u0107\u2019s Ko\u0161tana<\/i> occurs among Kal\u00e1sz Serbs are revealed through novelistic quest for anomnipotent formula of the musical phrase ofthe \u201cLerjano, perjano\u201d song,for the mystery of the lyrics that flash in the horizon of the mother tongue, and finally, for the dispersed, elusive and incomprehensible emotion of love.<\/p>\n

The backbone of the novel Tinja Kal\u00e1sz makes the story of the relocation of Stankovi\u0107\u2019s heroine Ko\u0161tana <\/i>to Kal\u00e1sz, home of the hero\u2019s cousin, who played this role in a school play when she was young. Now,memories are revived and a new version is being prepared. The hero goes to Vranje looking for traces of real Ko\u0161tana<\/i>, that is, Malika Eminovi\u0107, who Stankovi\u0107 modelled his dramatic persona after. In the meantime, parallel events take place in Kal\u00e1sz, so the same plot is developed on four levels, and around them the author unfolds a panorama of his native village, revives and invents characters and events from the history of Kal\u00e1sz.<\/p>\n

He goes back to the early 20th<\/sup>century, as far asthe memory of the oldest generation in the village goes. Beyond that pointthe dimensions of earlier epochs open, sothe search reaches the furthest layers of myth and legend. The reader is offered a series of various fascinations, flash-backs, family and local histories, while both distant and recent past of Kal\u00e1sz is seen in both realistic and fantastic dimensions, thus presented by means of realistic and documentary, as well as surrealistic and humorous storytelling.<\/p>\n

Petar Milo\u0161evi\u0107 is the most important Serbian writer of the so-called \u201cold diaspora\u201d, that is,the autochthonous Serb community living in Hungary. Numerous prose and critical essayistic works, primarily novels London, <\/i><\/b>Pom\u00e1z<\/i><\/b> and We’re from Szentendre<\/i><\/b>, have made him an author of recognisable style on the Serbian literary scene.<\/p>\n

About the works of Petar Milo\u0161evi\u0107<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We have often read about the authors experiencing the situation where a character \u201cbreaks free from their control\u201d, starts playing their own game, outside the script and plans, changing the aimed end. Novelist Petar Milo\u0161evi\u0107 had the entire village of Pom\u00e1z break free from under his pen, and a half of Szentendre, too. And successfully at that. And fortunately, too. Because, someone had to write this. This way exactly!<\/p>\n

To lift the veil of oblivion from the lives of Serbs in diaspora.From the manuscripts of his predecessors, martyrs on the same job, from Venclovi\u0107 and Pi\u0161\u010devi\u0107, to Ignjatovi\u0107 and Crnjanski. To verify his own imagination with a stamp of reality; to speak of his own destiny to a man instead of a politician, analyst and bureaucracy; to build a monument for the future generations with his writing, like the first and latter evangelist.<\/p>\n

In his four books which together make a unique opus, Petar Milo\u0161evi\u0107 serves up a remarkably complex study of the times and characters, offering instead of the worldly models, a filigree work in the field of virtuosity and literary seductive ethnological narratives.<\/p>\n
