Smrt, odsutnost i samoća – motiv traumatizarijućeg gubitka majke u zbirci priča Lejle Kalamujić Zovite me Esteban

Lejla Kalamujić rođ. 1980 je sarajevska spisateljica koja je dosad objavila dve knjige pripovedaka: Anatomija osmijeha 2009 i Zovite me Esteban 2015. U centru pažnje ovog članka nalazi se njena druga knjiga i glavni motiv gubitka majke, dakle i majčinog odsustva u kćerkinom životu.
Kalamujićeve kratke priče pre svega karakteriše autobiografizam, a jedna od njenih glavnih tema je smrt. Spisateljica koristi naraciju u prvom licu, narratorka se zove isto kao i ona, Lejla, zatim može se reći da je autoričin alter ego. Kalamujić opisuje svoja životna iskustva bez majke iz različitih vremenskih perspektiva, zbog čega u jednoj priči ponekad vidimo zajedno perspektivu devojčice i odrasle žene.
Najinteresantnije teme u knjizi su intertekstualne ima reference na Markesa, Kafku, Bišopa, Miljkovića i dr. koje su pomoćna metoda pisanja o boli zbog smrti i korisne su doživljavanje zakasnele žalosti.
