As part of the "November Days" event, the City Library Tivat JU is organizing an "Evening dedicated to the work of Goran Petrović" tomorrow in the premises of the Tivat JU Museum and Gallery from 19 p.m.
The guest of this literary evening is prof. Dr. Aleksandar Jerkov and moderator Vesna Barbić, director of the Library. The recently deceased Goran Petrović was a Serbian writer and academic, one of the most significant and widely read contemporary Serbian prose writers.
He was a regular member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and a writer awarded with most of the most important literary awards.
His novels and story collections have been published in over one hundred and thirty editions, in translations into Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Polish, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Macedonian, English, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Belarusian, Greek, Dutch, Arabic and Persian language.
About twenty of his stories are represented in anthologies of Serbian stories in the country and abroad. He wrote 16 books of short prose.
"The novel 'Palace' was published posthumously in 2024. It chronologically precedes the novel 'Ikonostas', the presentation of which was organized two years ago by the City Library of Tivat. Goran Petrović is unfortunately no longer with us, but in 'Palace' the music of his speech is alive , everything is teeming with a world distant from us in time, but brought closer by the writer's need and skill to make the world better than it ever was, with every carefully crafted word, every precise detail, for those of us who stayed to read," reads the announcement of the event.
