The format

Conversation by the fire
Conversation by the fire

Raзgovoriшte happens four times a year. Each edition focuses on a single author and their work. Guests arrive Friday evening, the main conversation takes place Saturday, and Sunday is for walking, reading, or continuing the discussion.

Five guests stay in-house with the author, sharing meals, evenings by the fire, morning coffee. This is the point: no distance between "audience" and "guest," no rushing off after Q&A. The conversation develops naturally, over the whole weekend.

The Saturday presentation happens in the šadrvan of Ibrišimović agro-tourism. Readings from the book, followed by a guided conversation about the work, the process, and the questions it raises.
