HOROZOVIĆEVA INTIMOLOŠKA I STVARALAČKA POTRAGA ZA SAMIM SOBOM
Horozovic's intimate and creative quest for self-identity

Summary/Abstract: Irfan Horozovic has proved to be one of the leading Bosniak (and Bosnia-Herzegovinian) authors, which resulted in continuous critical and essayistic research and interpretation of his work in relevant periodicals, both in B&H and other environments, especially those with complementary languages. In his protagonists, through already mentioned self-discovery, he foresees existential sense as an idea of status and ideological measure of a picture of life, depicted in a symbiosis of self-discovering and existential status within his characters in the analyzed novels. Specific quality of Horozovic's narrative milieu has been observed by other researchers of his work, who often emphasize a quality of Borgesian and Joycian vision. Agreeing on this comment, we add that Horozovic, in his numerous protagonists, autoportraits creative (Kalfa, Jmotski kadija) and intimate nature, which corresponds to the suggested title. The author's artistic method is in collusion with modern, creative and investigating techniques which promote him as one of our most modern narrators. Examples from the novels Kalfa and lmotski kadija can valorize previously stated idea that complementarities of creative and investigating techniques and self-discovery of protagonists' actions are one of the main methods of Horozovic' s prose world view. In this process, we should not forget about correlative relations between real and concrete holders of novel's plot, since in this way Horozovic' s idea of the mentioned coexistence of self-realization and other creative characters and interaction can be justified only as a sublimate artistic technique.
