Abstract
As a literary mirror of social reality, the trilogy, Croatian fog by Marijo Bazina offers itself as a rich fresco of the events in Croatia's last fifty or so years, as a rich panoramic picture of Croatian reality of this time, as a diagnosis of its illnesses and problems, and an inventory of individual and collective hopes, disappointments and
defeats. Written from the position of a weak subject, an intellectual-loser in both his personal and political life-it presents a picture of Croatian reality in which resignation and disappointment are the deepest states of mind, and the fog − historical as well as
present − is an experience which directs its existence towards the suppression of all forms of national and cultural identity.
