We invite you to promote the novel Dragoslava Barzut “Paper Disco Ball” (Red Box, Belgrade, 2017), which will be held on December 20, from 19:00 in Café Shupa. The program includes Bojan Krivokapić, writer, Danilo Lučić, writer and Dragoslav Barzut, author.

… “Paper disco balls” are certainly engaging in prose, which – in addition to mixing fiction and faction – thematizes the position of different, gender and sexual identities – urges the way out of fiction, on a courageous civic action in terms of treatment and other “humiliated and offended” social groups and layers. Finally, this short novel is not a love story, but it is a novel about love, or rather about a desire and a giving up of love, about its real impossibility and the Prust’s ability to literally evoke the love left in the past.
