Жирафи во катакомби

by Bojan Babić

Кога би ставиле жирафа во катакомба, телото би ѝ било под земја, но главата, носена од физиолошкиот кран, сепак би останала надвор. Значи, погледот на оваа убавица сепак весело ќе се разлева по околината, по селата и градовите, по менувањето на годишните времиња.

Чудна е таа состојба: телото осудено на духовна стварност, а главата осудена на световен живот - нешто како уметник.

About the author

Bojan Babić is a Serbian writer whose work moves fluidly between satire, surrealism, and sharp social commentary. He studied Serbian and World Literature at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade and received the Borislav Pekić Foundation Award for his novel Girls, Be Good—a fragmented, daring narrative that marked his emergence as a distinctive literary voice.

Since then, Babić has published a series of novels and collections that examine the absurdities of contemporary life with wit and imagination. His writing—spanning prose, poetry, and essays—has been translated and published internationally.
