Summary/Abstract: Mirko Kovač, one of the most famous domestic authors, is an artist who is equally successful in the descriptions of the Montenegrin, Croatian and Serbian cultural milieu, which gives his prose extra-regional and universal attribute. Based on all reliable and proven peculiarities of narrative manners painted by the modern creative process, with a variety of innovative structuring techniques and often naturalistic depicted fragments, his first novels Gubiliste (1962), My Sister Elida (1965) and The Biography of Malina Trifkovic (1971), as well as a collection novels Wounds of Luka Meštrović (1971) announce a new and unusual name on the literary scene of the former Yugoslav territories. In the work Mirko Kovač - A City in a Mirror, author Sofija Kalezić illuminates psychomental and physical portraits of literary characters of heroes who pervade the pages of this novel, from narrator’s mother to his first love and other heroes.
