★ What They Say About Our Books ★
What is particularly fascinating, when reading, is observing Gorizia’s spiritual and geographical placement through the author’s perspective: for the Italian reader, the city appears as an eastern border, almost forgotten by the center; yet the author is perfectly aware of the opposite view as well — the Slovenian gaze — which sees the Gorizia area as the “first” Slovenian cinematic region, a land of freedom.
— Anja Banko, Ekran
