READING THE OBLIQUE DARKNESS ON THE OPEN WATERS (Notes on the novel Dark Open Waters by Dragan Stojanović)

Summary/Abstract: The encounter with Dragan Stojanović’s (1945) latest work of prose raises many questions: as a long-time professor of general literature and literary theory and professor emeritus of the University of Belgrade, he has been present in our (Serbian) language space for half a century, as a poet, narrator, and essayist. Such a general typological description of Stojanović’s various forms of expression can diminish the essence of each of these orientations but also each achievement, especially the scientific studies of literature. However, the intention of highlighting the general facts from his biography is to justify the initial emphasis on the questions that will serve as a basis for some notes on the novel Tamna pučina (Dark Open Waters) (2020), which won last year’s “Infinite Blue Circle” Award.
