Sažetak
In recent years, aging is slowly becoming a topic of increasing interest for a number of contemporary Croatian writers. This article focuses on how literary texts address the subject of aging. Through a close study of two Croatian contemporary writers’ novels, Dubravka Ugresic’s Baba Jaga je snijela jaje (2008) and Zoran Feric’s Kalendar Maya (2012), this article will argue that these writers’ engagement with aging and gender allows them to create a different picture of what late life style can be. This work tends to conclude, neglecting socially constructed stereotypes of what aging is, how aging is capable of generating in fiction a new relationship among time, memories, stereotypes, and form.
