Ivan Cankar memorial at Cankar Hall. Ljubljana, June 2015.

I feel like exposing Cankar now: engaged 3 times, never married, a girl almost shot herself bc he said no to her, he had a glass coffin, he got one of his fiancées into a mental hospital, and as my teacher put it, he was "pacek packasti"

and i thought the coffee alone was shameful enough, smh

ah yes, iz trga na klanec iz klanca v grob this be the life of Francka (not our good friend Ivan, that bitch was famous and spent all his money on drinks and a second carriage for his walking stick and a hat)

well, at least his face made it on the 10000 SIT bill (~40€) – it seems we all find our own hills (or banknotes) to die on...
