• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

Alma Lazarevska is one of the most conspicuous modern writers from Bosnia, and her collection of short stories Death in the Museum of Modern Art is a uniquely interesting literary realization included in the current women’s writing about war. There are six short stories where the author described various life experiences of women in besieged Sarajevo. The presentation of the war reality is constructed from the point of view of a female narrator and is fragmentary in its character. The space of the besieged city is limited to the private space of home, the intimate zone inhabited mainly by women. One of the characteristic features of this narration is the precise description, construction of time subject to the memory of the narrator (which results in constant interspersing of the events from before and from the time of the siege, as they determine one another) and body writing (e.g. the motif of home, milk, water and body).
