Signs by the Roadside
Ivo Andrić
Only what has not been given a form or a name endures, that which has never left the infinite and eternal landscape of non-existence.
In the form of a journal, Andrić’s Signs by the Roadside is a series of short texts that can be
written in the course of a single day, reflecting the writer’s mood at the
time, opinion on a particular topic or person, an impression from a trip or a
thought that preoccupied him. Kept for many years and written in no particular
order, these notes were compiled by the writer in a book which became the
mirror of his soul, and not merely a journal. These texts are not organised
chronologically, like a traditional journal, but rather according to the
spontaneous activity of the soul, which reacts intensely and emotively to daily
stimuli, transforming them into meditations and visions, into pictures of
landscapes and people. Spontaneous and carefree, Signs by the Roadside is a superior example of a spiritual journal.
Its text grows and develops like organic tissue: one fragment leans upon the
next, in a never-ending sequence. This fragmentation and the spontaneous
blending of shorter texts into bigger entireties, creating an opus, is one of
the main characteristics of Andrić’s literary technique. As he himself remarks
at one point: “I have never, actually, written books, but rather seamless and
scattered texts which, in time, were, more or less, inserted logically into
books or compilations of short stories.” This method is particularly noticeable
in Signs by the Roadside. Brief notes spontaneously interconnect and form
larger chunks, thus encompassing a broad spectrum of life and its manifold
reality, much like the way these thoughts flow into the mind of the poetic
soul.
