About the book

When the mundane becomes fantastic, the uncanny feels oddly familiar. Boris Kolar’s short stories challenge the boundaries of human experience, confined by our perceptions and tainted by memory, amplifying the limits of our grasp in order to subvert them and – quite literally – go deeper. For Kolar’s protagonists this can lead to bizarre turns, marvelous mishaps, and funny encounters at moments when worlds collide. Perhaps one could finally experience the true nature of being a tree or use one’s sense of smell to uncover a mistery frozen in time. On the other hand, though, perhaps one should strive not to, and simply admire the possibilities.

Boris Kolar

Boris Kolar (1960) je biolog, ekotoksikolog, scenarist in pisatelj. Kot evropski strokovnjak za okoljska tveganja deluje pri Evropski agenciji za zdravila v Amsterdamu, doma pa skrbi za sadovnjak starih sort. Njegov romaneskni prvenec Iqball hotel (2008) je bil finalist nagrade kresnik, prav tako kasnejša romana Potopimo Islandijo! (2021) in O vinu, kozah in drugih prevarah (2023). Leta 2020 je pri Gogi izšla tudi njegova zbirka kratkih zgodb Trinajst. Kolarjeve knjige so prežete z naravo, satiro in igrivo duhovitostjo.
