Abstract
Vesna Kapor entered Serbian literary world at the end of one and the beginning of another century, which were both abounding in cataclysmic events nation- wide. With her unique style and emotion, she has enriched contemporary Serbian novelis- tic literature, together with other authors coming from western parts of the region where Serbian language is spoken: Bratić, Pištalo, Kecmanović, Radulović, Demić and others. In her novel Nebo, tako duboko, for which she received the prestigious “Meša Selimovićˮ award, she dealt with the intimate phenomenology of the relationship between existence and death. Outside of every mainstream, literary trends and “ismsˮ, she wrote a novel about forgotten sensitivity, about empathy, the pain of someone’s death in this post-civilization and anti-humanist time. Since the beginning of civilisation, literature has served as a metaphysical defense against death, both in anthropological and ontological sense. Kapor’s novel, although deal- ing with the death of an individual, young Tara, represents a universal cry against death taking away our dearest ones, against transience of life, against evil fate
