Skitam i pričam
„Ovaj književni kaleidoskop prikazuje nam svet šarenijim nego što jeste, uči nas da život posmatramo iz drugog ugla i da zavolimo neizvesnost koju sa sobom nosi. Zbirka Skitam i pričam mnogo govori o autoru čija se životna filozofija srećno poklopila s naslovom, pa mi je možda i zbog toga ova knjiga tako bliska (…)“ – Iz predgovora Ane Kapor
Knjiga Skitam i pričam pisana je nekoliko godina, a njeni delovi su objavljivani iz nedelje u nedelju na stranicama časopisa "Duga".
Ova knjiga prevazilazi stroge granice književnih žanrova i nudi čitaocima štivo koje je zanimljiv skup beležaka, eseja, kratkih priča, putopisa, anegdota i crtica, predstavljajući preteču mnogih Kaporovih dela iz kasnijeg perioda.

He has a large number of documentary films and television shows, all according to his screenplays, as well as several feature films (Almonds Beyond Death, Banquet (film), Walter Defends Sarajevo, Jolly DJ, End the Weekend). Una and The Book of Complaints were adapted as such. They have been translated into French, German, Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Slovenian and Swedish.
Dobrica Cosic, in his book "Friends," on pages 276 and 277 describes the childhood and youth of Momo Kapor, based on the talks he had with him in November 2002. "On the 13 of April 1941, The Germans bombed Sarajevo and hit the building below Trebenica in which the Kapor's mother had hid with her 4-year old son. In the collapsed house, everybody was dead. Moma's mother saved her son with her own body. The boy somehow pulled out from the rubble, moaned and fell into scilence from the speechless horror of not knowing where to be. He was found by a Russian, an emigrant, a doctor, who took pity on him and took him to his apartment, adopting him, as he had no children. He nurtured him, loved him, filled him with toys to forget his mother and drove him around Sarajevo in a white Mercedes. The boy knew that his name was Momcilo, but not his surname. The good Russian gave him a good name, Momcilo Hercegovac. After a year of life with the good man, Momcilo Hercegovac fell ill with scarlet fever, so his savior took him to the Sarajevo hospital. There he was found by his maternal aunt for she had been looking for him the previous year all round Sarajevo, being informed by someone earlier on that there was "a child that got out of the destroyed house, where a man took him with him." When the boy recuperated from scarlet fever, his grandmother took him to her house and took care of him. Momcilo Hercegovac was cared for by the Russian as well, who joined vlasovcima-collaborators of the Germans, often visiting him with gifts. His father was, upon returning from captivity and being a banking expert, set up in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Belgrade. However, his patriotic conscience and responsibilities led to the passage of a whole year after the war before he came to Sarajevo to see his son. He treated his son in a strict patriarchal manner and was dissatisfied that his son dedicated himself to painting and literature, a life of social and material uncertainty "
He died in Belgrade on the 3. of March 2010. at the Military Medical Academy.

Sa ovom knjigom sam završio cjelokupni Kaporov književni opus. Sasvim korektna zbirka, naročito prvi dio sa primorskim pričama punim nostalgije.
