Una nuova polemica attorno a Ki?

摘要

The Latest Dispute Concerning Danilo Ki? The paper focuses on the latest dispute concerning Danilo Ki? (the first regarded Ki?’s Grobnica za Borisa Davidovi?a, 1976). This new controversy was caused by the publication of Neboj?a Vasovi?’s La?ni car ??epan Ki? (Belgrade, 2005). In this book Vasovi? attacks Danilo Ki? and his work ‘pitilessly’, and spares no effort to break into the Jewish aspects of Ki?’s poetics. As expected, the book did not receive favourable reviews, especially from one of the main Serbian critics, Aleksandar Jerkov who criticized the superficiality and arrogance of Vasovi?’s approach to Ki?’s works. Jerkov, however, did not have to wait long for Vasovi?’s cutting replies. The controversy about Danilo Ki? has also involved other members of the Serbian literary community: Milo Lompar, Vasa Pavkovi?, Ljiljana ?op, Vule ?uri?, just to mention a few. Judging by the comments, and apart from the fact that a global vision of the whole situation is needed, the controversy about Ki?’s work is not likely to end soon.
