Čas, kot da me ni strah: Čustva v začetkih in koncih treh sodobnih povojnih romanov

Postwar novels portray the emotions of individuals involved in important historical events through various perspectives and various narrators. This article analyses the novels Da me je strah? (Am I Afraid?) by Maruša Krese, Vremeto na kozite (The Time of the Goats) by Luan Starova, and Kao da me nema (As If I Am Not There) by Slavenka Drakulić, focusing on the emotions expressed at the beginning and end of these narratives. The most pronounced emotion is fear, which, however, commonly only fully emerges after the war because it is often replaced by emotional numbness during the war.
