Janet Frame

The fate befalling the young woman who wanted "to be a poet" has been well documented. Desperately unhappy because of family tragedies and finding herself trapped in the wrong vocation (as a schoolteacher) her only escape appeared to be in submission to society's judgement of her as abnormal. She spent four and a half years out of eight years, incarcerated in mental hospitals. The story of her almost miraculous survival of the horrors and brutalising treatment in unenlightened institutions has become well known. She continued to write throughout her troubled years, and her first book (The Lagoon and Other Stories) won a prestigious literary prize, thus convincing her doctors not to carry out a planned lobotomy.

Goran Tribuson

Diplomirao je i magistrirao (filmolgija) na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu. Kratke priče počinje objavljivati početkom 1970-ih godina 20. stoljeća u prvom valu tzv. fantastičara (Zavjera kartografa i Praška smrt), da bi se postupno opredijelio za žanrovsku prozu. Kritika je odmah uočila Tribusona kao najtipičnijeg predstavnika hrvatskih borgesovaca koji prvi među brojnima u toj struji postiže punu autorsku zrelost. Postupno napušta fantastiku, ali zadržava interes za srednjoeuropsku ikonografiju i težnju prema okultnome, što se očituje u njegovim romanima Snijeg u Heidelbergu, Čuješ li nas, Frido Štern (u cjelokupnom autorovom opusu jednom od najboljih njegovih djela), te Ruskom ruletu.
