Pretraži malo podforum. Ja deset godina pišem o Polu Osteru.

Snažne tragove u književnosti dvadesetog veka ostavila je tzv "izgubljena generacija", jedna od najsvetlijh tačaka književnosti dvadesetog veka je roman "Veliki Getsbi", osenčen, donekle, sladunjavim filmom sa Robertom Retfordom, tu je, svakako, i minimalizam... Pa, i početak posmoderne vezuje se, uz ostalo, i za Vladimira Nabokova i roman "Lolita", a roman "Konje ubijaju, zar ne?" iz tridesetih godina, Evropa je, zahvaljujući ponajviše Žan Pol Sartru, slavila kao književni vrh egzistencijalizma.

,,Pogledaj dom svoj anđele''

Selindžer je u ovoj tematici broj 1, po popularnosti (neprilagođenost mladih) ali to što je najpopularniji ne znači i da je najbolji...iz te tematke mi napamet pada i Džojs sa portretom umjetnika u mladosti, ali i to je daleko slabije (po meni) od Vulfa...
Da ne spominjem trećerazrednog Bukovskog, to je i neukusno....

Pa ni ja, a i uopste me nije zanimalo da itam novele koje se odnose na njegov zivot u USA.
Zanimljivo je da je i Josip Brodski kao Amerikanac pa je kao takav i dobio Nobela, a ono zasta je dobio
Nobela ( pesme) pisano je samo na ruskom.
Nego, pade mi naum Nabokov. On je valjda bio Englez ili ´gde i kako se vodi kao Nobelovac?

Evo kako se postaje Nobelovac - i Brodski se potpisao, doduše na samom kraju, valjda iz osećanja stida. Inače, Brodski je bio ruski Jevrejin, nije bio Rus.

EX-STATESMEN URGE STRIKES AGAINST SERBS​

Daniel Williams
September 2, 1993

In an open letter to President Clinton, former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, former U.S. secretary of state George P. Shultz and nearly 100 other signers from across a wide political spectrum appealed yesterday for NATO airstrikes against Serb military targets in Bosnia-Herzegovina and airfields in neighboring Serbia.

The letter also called on Clinton to help arm the Muslim-led Bosnian government, warning that failure to act now with air power and arms could result in an indefinite and large-scale Western ground troop commitment to try to enforce an inherently unworkable peace agreement.

It criticized U.S. and Western backing for peace talks in Geneva which, the signers argued, were leading to the destruction of Bosnia and "more killing, broken families and the expulsion of millions." The talks broke down yesterday over Muslim refusals to accept a partition plan favored by the Serbs and Croats.

The letter poses a public relations problem for the Clinton administration, which had hoped that its Bosnia policy would be regarded as both firm and correct. At Clinton's initiative, NATO has threatened the use of limited air power to protect Sarajevo and other Muslim population centers from Serb attack and to prod the Geneva peace talks to a conclusion. But the bombing threat is designed neither to turn back Serb gains nor punish Serbia, which is subject to an economic blockade for its support of the Bosnian Serbs.

"If we do not act immediately and decisively, history will record that in the last decade of this century, the democracies failed to heed its most unforgiving lesson: that unopposed aggression will be enlarged and repeated," the letter said.

Singling out Serbia, the letter advised Western governments to "act now substantially to reduce Serbia's immediate and future power of aggression and ultimately put the Bosnians in a position where they won't have to rely indefinitely on the protection of the international community."

Both Thatcher and Shultz are persistent critics of Western policy in the Balkans, as were other signers, including Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, and Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Reagan administration.

Writer Susan Sontag, who is staging a production of "Waiting for Godot" in Sarajevo, signed, as did Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, the former U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees; former U.S. arms control advisers Paul H. Nitze and Max M. Kampelman; Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek; Ankara Mayor Murat Karayallin; Nobel laureates Elie Wiesel, Czeslaw Milosz and Joseph Brodsky; “Serbian opposition” leaders, and editors of The National Review and The New Republic.

The signing was organized by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.
