Anton <\/span>Pashku<\/span>, <\/span>writer<\/span>, <\/span>died<\/span> in <\/span>Pristina<\/span>. He <\/span>was<\/span> born<\/span> in <\/span>Grazhdanik<\/span>, <\/span>near<\/span> Prizren, in 1937. He <\/span>completed<\/span> primary<\/span> sc<\/span>ho<\/span>ol<\/span> and<\/span> five<\/span> grades<\/span> of<\/span> high<\/span> sc<\/span>ho<\/span>ol<\/span> in Prizren, <\/span>while<\/span> the <\/span>last<\/span> three<\/span> grades<\/span> at the Prishtina <\/span>High<\/span> Sc<\/span>ho<\/span>ol<\/span>. All <\/span>his<\/span> life<\/span> he <\/span>worked<\/span> in “Rilindja”<\/span> (“<\/span>Renaissance<\/span>”)<\/span>paper<\/span>, <\/span>once<\/span> a <\/span>journalist<\/span>, <\/span>then<\/span> editor<\/span> of<\/span> the <\/span>culture<\/span> section<\/span> and<\/span> in the <\/span>last<\/span> twenty<\/span> years<\/span> editor<\/span> in the <\/span>editorial<\/span> office<\/span> of<\/span> “Rilindja” <\/span>publications<\/span>. He <\/span>started<\/span> to <\/span>publish<\/span> his<\/span> literary<\/span> writings<\/span> since<\/span> 1955. He <\/span>wrote<\/span> prose<\/span> and<\/span> drama. He <\/span>is<\/span> the <\/span>aut<\/span>ho<\/span>r<\/span> of<\/span> Albanian<\/span> themes<\/span> and<\/span> universal <\/span>forms<\/span>, <\/span>wh<\/span>ich<\/span> he<\/span> turned<\/span> into<\/span> a <\/span>cult<\/span>, <\/span>percepting<\/span> the <\/span>work<\/span> a<\/span>s <\/span>identifiable<\/span> with<\/span> the <\/span>existence<\/span> of<\/span> the modern <\/span>national<\/span> culture<\/span>. He <\/span>wrote<\/span> and<\/span> published<\/span> his<\/span> literary<\/span> work<\/span> in <\/span>Pristina<\/span>. Anton <\/span>Pashku’s<\/span> literary<\/span> work<\/span> is<\/span> narrative (<\/span>stories<\/span> and<\/span> novels<\/span>) <\/span>and<\/span> dramaturgical<\/span>. But <\/span>even<\/span> in the <\/span>novel<\/span>, he <\/span>preserved<\/span> the <\/span>story<\/span> as a <\/span>genre<\/span> of<\/span> prose<\/span>, <\/span>while<\/span> the <\/span>dramas<\/span>, at <\/span>least<\/span> as a <\/span>discourse<\/span>, <\/span>preserve<\/span> the <\/span>properties<\/span> of<\/span> the narrative. The <\/span>story<\/span> is<\/span> the <\/span>dominant<\/span> genre<\/span> in Anton <\/span>Pashku’s<\/span> literary<\/span> work<\/span>. <\/span>His<\/span> stories<\/span> are <\/span>thematically<\/span> existential<\/span> and<\/span> national<\/span>, <\/span>always<\/span> universalized<\/span>. <\/span>Thus<\/span>, the <\/span>tower<\/span> is<\/span> not the linear figure <\/span>of<\/span> tradition<\/span>, but the <\/span>open<\/span> figure <\/span>of<\/span> essence<\/span> and<\/span> national<\/span> existence<\/span> in the <\/span>vortex<\/span> of<\/span> universal (<\/span>harsh<\/span>) <\/span>existence<\/span>. Anton <\/span>Pashku’s<\/span> stories<\/span> are <\/span>woven<\/span> into<\/span> three<\/span> basic<\/span> thematic<\/span> circles<\/span>: <\/span>of<\/span> love<\/span>, <\/span>of<\/span> loneliness<\/span> required<\/span> and<\/span> conditioned<\/span> by a <\/span>totalitarianism<\/span>, <\/span>and<\/span> the <\/span>thematic<\/span> circle<\/span> of<\/span> violence <\/span>against<\/span> the individual. The <\/span>novel<\/span> “Oh” <\/span>is<\/span> Anton <\/span>Pashku’s<\/span> best-known<\/span> work<\/span>. The <\/span>novel<\/span> bends<\/span> the <\/span>theme<\/span> (<\/span>of<\/span> loss<\/span>) in the universal, <\/span>national<\/span> (oral <\/span>and<\/span> historical<\/span>) <\/span>and<\/span> individual variant. <\/span><\/span>(In the <\/span>p<\/span>ho<\/span>to<\/span>: Anton <\/span>Pashku<\/span>)<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
