Summary/Abstract: Literary scene of our country beginning from the middle of the 1990s years of the last century until nowadays has been divided into two large groups – on one side are the authors who left Bosnia and continued their literary path in another country. On the other side, a great number of authors still live here and face the need to “process” difficult war experiences and find their way out of a kind artistic isolation. This literary display gives itself a task to explore the model of “distant proximity” based on a few short stories from the corpus of the author Dragoslav Dedović A child. A woman. A soldier. A town. All the authors in this anthology were faced with the problem to alienation in their own or someone else’s town. Literary scenario of these authors always vary between two worlds, between two regions. They all are in search for one connection between past and future. Their literary opus is a unique tribute to their former homeland, respectively the critical view of country in which they live now.
