The novel The Rooster's Egg is not just a great sequel to the novelThe Chicken Shepherd, which was our publishing house's best-selling book in 2021 and was also nominated for the Kresnik Award, is also an independent literary text.
In the second part of the planned trilogy, in which the writer thematizes his childhood in an original way, we follow the boy's life in the preschool period. His magical experience of the world and persistent search for answers to the first existential questions enable the writer to create a text that is characteristically poetic and deeply symbolic. The elements of magical realism, which are otherwise characteristic of Lainšček's best novels, stand out this time.
A unique interweaving of the archaic and the fairy-tale, Christian mythology and communist ideology, and the unusual everyday merge into a suggestive text that speaks to us not only as a contribution to the author's biography, but also as a literary masterpiece.
