Paths to Texts (2)
For fifty years, I remember one topic for 'Omladinske novine' from Novi Pazar, which is very current now. But, the devil of deceptive memory interfered again. Until last year, I was convinced that I remembered it for 52 years. Because, I thought it was the third, fourth text for this newspaper and it was written in the spring of '74. However, a snippet from a huge cardboard box from the shed's attic – luckily left there when my parents stopped growing corn, so there were no mice to go on an excursion to that box – showed that it was from the first half of January 1976.
TL;DR
- The author initially misremembered the publication date of a 1976 article about Novi Pazar.
- The article focused on Novi Pazar's authentic, oriental atmosphere and its developing infrastructure.
- It mentioned anticipated improvements like a new hotel and better transportation links.
- A personal experience of arriving late and finding unexpected hospitality for accommodation is recounted.
- The author reflects on the past presentation of Novi Pazar as a distinct 'world' for those who appreciate it.
