Goran Vojnović: Why don't we have a museum of poets?

The article discusses Slovenia's cultural identity and its relationship with literature and art, highlighting a perceived disconnect between national pride and the lack of dedicated institutions celebrating Slovenian literary heritage. It references prominent Slovenian writers such as Daneta Zajc, Tomaz Salamun, and Svetlana Makarovic, while criticizing the absence of museums or monuments devoted to them, unlike similar institutions in cities like Dublin. The piece also critiques the superficial approach to promoting reading among youth, noting that despite efforts by figures like Slavko Pregl, opportunities to promote books effectively have been missed. The author questions why Slovenia, which considers itself a nation of poets, does not invest in cultural landmarks that honor its literary legacy.
