The critical sieve was awarded by Ana Sight

The Society of Slovenian Literary Critics is on Saturday at Air Fair at Air At the Zvezda Park, the Star Park awarded the critical screen awarded by literary critics since 2012 for the best literary work of the Slovenian author in the past year. This time, six literary works of two authors and four authors were nominated for her, and she celebrated Bright with a short prose collection Glass wallswhich was published by Beletrina.

According to the author, otherwise researcher in the field of ethnology and cultural anthropology, it is in the collection for five longer short stories involved in modernity, in which protagonists and protagonists are placed before a variety of dilemmas, and their titles are read as an important interpretative tool for their understanding. Although they were the reason for their occurrence of personal circumstances or the question of the author, they are fiction, but at the same time they are intimate and, as poetry, give their proximity. Metaphorical address Glass walls He connects all five.

Different power ratios

In the criticism of the nomination, critic Aleksandra Gačić emphasized that Ana is fooled with anthropological sensitivity to observing small, often hidden or imperceptible everyday life, in which her characteristic ambivalent and slightly problematic characters, especially female, are captured.  » Based on familiar generation and career environments, « through individual complications and individual experiences, which he places in broader social contexts, he touches the different power relations in which we are all socially involved. » In doing so, he does not moralize, but leave the judgment to the reader, and « recognizes social tensions in the stories of protagonists and not necessarily in himself, making the whole book as learning about himself through the distanced experience of another. »

As she concluded Aleksandra Gačićhowever, all the stories, as alluded, are « common invisible but solid and seemingly impassable obstacles that are sometimes perceived by the protagonists, but sometimes not. Glass walls They are metaphorically protecting them, but also limiting them, which brightenses in complex moral of social structures and beliefs (sometimes voluntarily internalized), which relentlessly command the individual’s success and happiness on all fronts of life, both private and career, albeit without optimal conditions for realization of these requirements. «
