Kakva sjajna i zabavna večer!
Pisac Ivica Ivanišević je jučer u Balaturi pričao o najnovijoj knjizi, ali i o drugim temama. Pričao je o tome kako je pisanje za njega uvijek i bijeg iz surovog i groznog svijeta, vrsta terapijske shizofrenije (pa da, ponekad se bolestima treba liječiti od stvarnosti!). I njegov humor je bio posebno zarazan. Govorio je o tome kako se o njegovim kriminalstičkim knjigama kaže da su "krimići s greškom", jer obično nema ni mrtvih niti im je glavni fokus na "Whodunnit" (tko je kriv, tko je ubio žrtvu?) nego na zapletu priče, na izradu likova i na krajoliku ljudskih odnosa.
Govorio je o svom načinu pisanja, ne kao splitski autor, nego kao autor u stanu koji je smješten u Splitu, doduše, toliko siguran i odmaknut da može najbolje vidjeti i u miru plesti svoj paralelni svijet.
Hvala na prekrasnoj večeri i hvala publici na interesu i aktivnom sudjelovanju!

What a brilliant and entertaining evening!
Yesterday, the writer Ivica Ivanišević spoke about his latest novel and other subjects He told us how writing, for him, is some kind of escape from a raw and horrible world, some kind of therapeutic schizophrenia (well, yes, sometimes we have to heal ourselves with illnesses from reality!. And his humor yesterday was contagious, too. He explained that people call his books "crime stories with a mistake", because, most of the times, there aren't even dead bodies in it and his main focus isn't on "Whodunnit", but on the plot, the characters and the landscape of human relationships.
He spoke about his way of writing, not as a writer from Split, but a writer in a flat that's located in Split, a safe place from which he cana observe best and create his parallel world.
Thank you for this wonderful evening and thanks to the audience for the interest and active participation!

Ivica Ivanišević (Split, 1964.) jedan je od najvažnijih suvremenih hrvatskih prozaika, ali i novinar, kolumnist, dramatičar i scenarist. Po struci je sociolog, a dugogodišnji rad u Nedjeljnoj Dalmaciji, Feral Tribuneu i Slobodnoj Dalmaciji ostavio je snažan trag na njegovu književnom izrazu: njegove knjige odlikuju precizno opažanje svakodnevice, britak humor i izražen osjećaj za dijalog. Poznat je i po knjigama koje je napisao u koautorstvu s drugim piscima kao što su Marina Vujičić ili Renato Baretić.
On je kod kuće u Splitu, u gradu koji je mjesto radnje i u najnovijoj knjizi "Nešto na žlicu". Što na površini izgleda kao kriminalistička priča (bez mrtvih!) je, doduše, puno više od toga i po mnogim atributima jedna tipična Ivičina knjiga: spoj humora, ironije i melankolije zajedno s psihološki uvjerljivim likovima (zavoljet ćete inspektora Nalisa, garant!) i na kraju priča u kojoj autor pokazuje svoju sposobnost da iz svakodnevnih situacija izvuče ona važna pitanja o životu, prolaznosti i ljudskim odnosima.
Ljudi moji, nemojte propustiti razgovor s Ivica Ivanišević!
Ja jedva čekam! 😍........
Ivica Ivanišević (Split, 1964) is one of the important contemporary Croatian writers, but also journalist, columnist, play wright and dramatist. He studied sociology and his years of writing for the newspapers Nedjeljna Dalmacija, Feral Tribune and Slobodna Dalmacija left a significant mark on his literary expression: his books are characterized by his great observance of the day-to-day life, his sharp humor and his bold sensitivity for dialogue. He is also well-known for books he wrote in co-authorship with other writers, such as Marina Vujičić or Renato Baretić.
He is at home in Split, which also the town in which his latest book "Nešto na žlicu" takes place. What superficially looks like a crime story (but no dead bodies!) is, in fact, much more than that: a combination of humor, irony and melancholy with psychologically convincing characters (You'll love Inspector Nalis!) and in the end a story where the author shows his special skill to extract the important questions about life, transcience and human relationships out of everday situations.
People, please, don't miss the conversation with Ivica Ivanišević!
I can't wait! 😍
