How I became Pažanin, Pazinjan, Pazinac…

Writers usually have books. Some of them even readers. But to be given a house, well, that’s a really great honour. Thanks to Iva and Davor, I lived in the Pazin’s Writers’ House for a week. I enjoyed my time at Buraj, observed the Pazin Castle, listened to a swollen Pazinčica, walked around the Pazin Gorge… I heard stories of Jules Verne, James Joyce, Jure Grando… I even wrote something in the house. I understand that this is also my house now, it’s clear to me that I have become your citizen. I am now a Pažanin too. My address is at Jules Verne Street, no number. See you!
