The poem tracks the adventures of five scrappy, resourceful working-class boys who endeavor to free an equally plucky girl from the evil clutches of a convent school (and its fearsome nuns). While weighing in on various contemporary political issues, the story is unpredictable, action-packed and relayed in richly colloquial language. Matic's photocollages show \"what happened in the meantime\" between the \"songs\" (episodes) of the poem, providing clever twists to the linear plot as well as an illustration of the surrealist concepts of time, space and the transformative capabilities of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleksandar Boskovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004513655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004513655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Aleksandar Boskovic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059116110079,"sku":"9789004513655","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e225f5b-2514-4756-a8ff-aa3acb5e7aca.jpg?v=1685056316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fine-feats-of-the-aleksandar-boskovic-9789004513655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
