Durkovic, Nadja: Magic Fingers of Dramatic Fairy Tales by Dragana Krsenkovic Brkovic (Carobni prsti dramskih bajki Dragane Krsenkovic Brkovic)
_____________________
In four new Krsenkovic Brkovic’s fairy-tale dramas, the author makes good and evil meet in a typical fairy-tale manner and weaves the resulting conflict into different scenarios: into a mystical underwater world adventure, a Scandinavian saga, a Zorro-legend, and the present time, in which the son of a business magnate fights for a more just society. Thanks to their dialogue form and their classical dramatic structure of exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution, the texts achieve a quality of immediacy that makes them resemble fantasy film sequences; thus they create an enormous reading-mealstrom that readers can hardly resist.
