Pomračenje u pet slika (2013)
Reviews
“Pomračenje u pet slika tells a story about the collapse of a city and its citizens, and if we understand this as an allegory, it refers to the whole nation whose heroic acts boiled down to utter cowardice. Ambitiously set, very well written and extremely easy to read, this novel shows how big themes, viewed from a clear ideological position, can be transformed into great literature.”
Vladimir Arsenić, E-novine
“Matić revalues the borderline relationships, the psychology of inner conflicts, focusing on the unfit, different and stigmatized by the society. Every otherness is dangerous: it undermines the mainstream and predetermined scenario […] This novel will be read by those who recognize the toponyms from the book, but also by those ones who experience them for the first time. The reader will be exposed to a historical record of a city, a testament to its bleak times, but the book itself is not bleak whatsoever.”
