Blue Photons of Zagreb: Plavi Fotoni Zagreba Vlasta Bartolic Vuk

Twenty-five short love stories are loaded with a multitude of emotions, poetry, and metaphors, which strive to evoke modern man's eternal quest of love. Heroes of the stories are women and men of contemporary cities. With meticulously chosen words, the author drenches the reader in a specter of various moods, feelings, and images. For her, Zagreb is in every way a mystical city; it is the starting point from which she proceeds to other continents and other experiences. The text in the postmodernist style suspends with an incredible ease the connectivity of space and time, and it seems that everything happens in some imaginary world, which is yet close to all those who yearn after some higher meaning of life in urban living cycles.
