Mišomor za rođake

Mišomor za rođake

Radenko Vadanjel

In his new collection of stories, Radenko Vadanjel returns to the question he posed in his acclaimed prose debut "Diary of an Idleman": how far (and deep) can immobility take us?

And in “Mišomor for Relatives” the world of dull towns and villages is a stage where people meet who hardly move, but who even so become participants in some of the merciless battles: the struggle between the sick and the healthy, the powerful and the powerless, the young and the old, the happy and the unhappy. Broken families, and those held together only by interest, eternal suspicion and the tired complicity of relatives - Vadanjel's narrative circles expand around old family houses and land, and the warm corpse of a property, still occupied by a man, is often the only thing that feeds life: the only opportunity for movement. And that is why for Vadanjel, nor for his reader, there is no immobility. The world of people is in no way different from the rest of the organic world: in a rhythm that cannot and should not be accelerated, it ends and is reborn anew, and every human movement - be it strong or weak - leads us to the same outcome. "Mouse Murder for Relatives" is to the world we live in the same way that one of the characters in the title story says about a neglected family home: an anamnesis of the psychological state, a diagnosis of the emotional breakdown of its residents.
