No-one is. I found the most fascinating and witty parts to be the ones where Kapor compared the West and the East or the North and the South. I bought this book to see what the author would say about Serbia and how much I would recognize and relate to the stories, seeing that although I grew up in a different country, I was still raised by parents who always stayed true to their roots and passed them on to me. Books about mentalities of different nations. Not finding any “true Serbians”, but only revellers in Guča, I continued my quest. A series of very short essays with some elegant sketches. Again, “the true Serb” was a 21st century gentle savage: good host, fond of rakija and folk music, yet full of prejudices against anything outside his village. A bit exaggerated at times, but he really captures the Serbian (or maybe the Belgrade) spirit, or what we believe is our spirit. In medieval Serbia, one monk once said: “We, Serbs, we are flowers from the edge of the grave.

Ali zanimljivo je da moze da se vidi da se neki trendovi vracaju - pise kako su gramofonske ploce zamenili CDovi. Belgrade author and painter Momo Kapor has spent many years studying the mentality of his countrymen. There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Draft from an open car window regardless if it’s summer and no AC ,so true. A colorful, cultural depiction of life in Bulgaria and travel around the Balkans. Serbs when they take smth they develop it even further. I can hardly recall an Eastern European (let alone a Serbian) character in a mainstream English-language film depicted outside some violent or criminal context, either as victim or perpetrator. Momo Kapor really hits the spot on so many topics and details. Although initially it was funny to play with the Borat-esque perceptions, I realised some of my new friends actually believed the extreme stereotypes. History was re-shaped to highlight “the true Serb’s” ancient origins (or historical malice) and national culture refocused to make him look more unique. what a wonderful article. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Unable to add item to List. It is a basically light-hearted and enjoyable collection of essays and illustrations by author and columnist Momo Kapor. To understand the Serbs is to understand their sense of pride; it is to understand why the Serbs celebrate June 28, St. Vitus Day, the day of the Kosovo Battle of 1389. Perhaps you think it is better to collaborate with NATO and the western neo-liberal order, this after having endured sanctions and being bombed?
