The Book of Visits

Dinko Telećan: The Book of VisitsHard to categorize, impossible to ignore, Dinko Telećan’s The Book of Visits engages the world apace with the comings and goings of nature, those we love, and those we will never know. In the smallest of details—from the blooming of flowers to the angles of buildings and fleeting glances between two people - Telećan’s work illuminates the universal elements of existence in fresh and unforgettable ways. A VIST TO YOU You always open a different door. Which is why I must be different, yet the same. And nothing must ossify. A mask crumpled in a pocket. Organs fished out of formaldehyde. And you, as never before, no one, nothing before or after. Every time you surrender yourself to a different sense. So many of them still need to be invented. The tongue is one and only and sufficient. All that’s been said still needs to come into being. Every time a new door and a different glimmer of your face. The I is too little to see you. Too few hands for all the handles. I’ll run, keep watch, circle, and enter. And I’ll know that it’s always too little. Until that one time. And that one time—hasn’t it already happened a hundred times? Be that as it may, I brace myself to knock, my face flushed. And my fingers turn white, white from clenching, from the fear that only a fraction of you will be touched. Stranica: 101Dimenzije: 13x20.5Jezik: ZagrebPismo: LatinicaStanje: Nova knjigaUvez: Tvrdi s ovitkomGodina: 2026
