Porijeklo Drama

„Porijeklo je knjiga o prvoj slučajnosti u našim biografijama: rođenju negdje. I o onome što dolazi poslije. „Porijeklo“ je knjiga o selu u kojem je ostalo samo trinaestero ljudi, o zemlji koje više nema, o rasparčanoj porodici, mojoj porodici. To je knjiga o pitanju šta mi pripada, moj autoportret s precima. I razlaganje tog autoportreta. „Porijeklo“ je oproštaj od moje dementne bake. Dok ja prikupljam sjećanja, ona svoja gubi. „Porijeklo“ je knjiga o mojim domovinama, po sjećanjima i u mašti. Knjiga o jeziku i sramu, dolasku i preživljavanju, sreći i smrti.” – Saša Stanišić

"Origin is a book about the first coincidence in our biographies: being born somewhere. And about what comes after that. "Origin" is a book about a village where only thirteen people are left, about a country that no longer exists, about a torn apart family, my family. It is a book about the question of what belongs to me, my self-portrait with my ancestors. And the breakdown of that self-portrait. "Origin" is a farewell to my demented grandmother. While I am collecting my memories, she was losing hers. "Origin" is a book about my homelands, according to my memories and imagination. A book about language and shame, arrival and survival, happiness and death.” – Saša Stanišić
