Nagrada Stevan Sremac Jeleni Rosić

Na završnoj sednici žirija za dodelu Nagrade „Stevan Sremac", koja je održana u Beogradu 19. aprila, žiri u sastavu Tijana Spasić, Snežana Božić i Vule Žurić, predsednik, doneo je jednoglasnu odluku da nagradu dobije Jelena Rosić za knjigu priča „Dan kada je Miz Lili postala ono što je oduvek bila", u izdanju beogradskog Arhipelaga.

.

Žiri smatra da zbirka Jelene Rosić nudi originalno narativno uobličenje iskustva susreta s Drugim, koje je uvek i susret sa sopstvenim dubinama i ponorima. Te veze spoljašnjeg i unutrašnjeg, prošlog i budućeg, u pojedincu i svetu koji ga okružuje, najčešće nije lako dokučiti i osvestiti. Suptilne spone, koje nenametljivo funkcionišu među pričama ove zbirke, kao da to potvrđuju.

U užem izboru za nagradu našli su se i romani Svetislava Basare Dugovečnost (Laguna) i Branka Anđića „Play back"(Agora), a na završnoj sednici rasprsavljano je o Basarinom romanu i o knjizi priča Jelene Rosić.

Nakon zanimljive rasprave članovi žirija su se jednoglasno opredelili da ovogodišnji laureat bude Jelena Rosić.

Inače, žiri je ove godine razmatrao preko 70 prispelih romana i zbirki priča.

Nagradu „Stevan Sremac" dodeljuje Niški kulturni centar, a finansira Grad Niš i Ministarstvo kulture Republike Srbije. Nagradu čini plaketa i novčani iznos.

Nagrada će dobitnici biti uručena u maju, tokom trajanja manifestacije „Dani Stevana Sremca", koja se tradicionalno održava u Nišu.
