If you say that his stories are postmodern or that they emerge from under the large coat of Danil Harms – you are right. If you declare minimalism, compactness, simplicity, fairy tale style and subtle humor as main points of his poetics – you will be also right.
But it is interesting that in Prlja’s literature – as in any other good literature – meanings are not exhausted just like that. As David Albahari said: “What the story knows, we will never find out.”
