“The study of Zorana Opačić, says Radivoje Mikic, has great significance for

the Serbian science of literature, because it discusses the nature of an

important literary type and displays the main evolutionary stages of that

type in literature of the second half of the 20th century. Also, the

importance of this study lies in the fact that the prose work of such an

important writer, such as Grozdana Olujić, is systematically illuminated

including both her novels and her fairy tales”.

Naive Consciousness and Fiction

Zmaj Children Games, Novi Sad, 2011

“It is a positive circumstance that today, along with the older researchers

of literature for children and young people, a group of young and proven

experts of this literary field, which is not so numerous, also acts. Among

younger researchers, Zorana Opačić is certainly one of the best and is

involved in this field in a dedicated and serious way. This is confirmed by

her works collected in the book Naive Consciousness and Fiction (Novi Sad,

Zmaj Children Games, 2011).

Reliable scientific instruments and author's value judgment, conceptual and

methodological precision and her personal affinity have marked not only

individual works but also this book as a whole. Therefore, Naive

Consciousness and Fiction by Zorana Opačić is a very significant

contribution to the interpretation of literature for children and young

people and a good sign that the level of interpretation may be on the same

level as the above literature itself.”
