"Bojićeva proza je svaki put dugačka, rasplinjena i koji put se ne zna da li je pripovjetka ili roman, jer sve njegove pripovjetke su, zaista, duge, i ako bi mjerili duzinom, onda su mu, praktično, i većina pripovjedaka romani. Ovdje je to svakako proza pod naslovom Moračka medija, koja je ima 250 stranica. Ostale pripovjetke: ana, Naomi, Slovo o grijehu i Ljubavnici, su znatno kraće. Ova Bojićeva proza je puna zapitanosti o smislu ivota i orginalnim odgovorima, kao to se vidi iz ovog pasusa uzetog iz Moračke medije:
Ovaj svijet je postojao prije mog rodjenja i objektivno, nita mi ne duguje. Naprotiv, ja dugujem njemu objanjenje svoje ličnosti, svoj dolazak ovdje i odgovor otkuda sam doao i kuda namjeravam da se vratim i poslije koliko vremena, poto sam se usudio ili poto sam uzurpirao pravo da se sluim vazduhom, vodom i obilnim plodovima, iveći tako neodgovorno i bahato, na račun objektivnog svijeta, a zar to nije privilegija nae moći, a ne nikakva zasluga… "

Početak knjige govori o kolainskoj nahiji iz polovine devetnaestog vijeka, koja grca pod turskim zulumom, od kojeg se narod brani junatvom i moralom, kao najubojitijim orujem kojim je jedino i mogao da se odbrani i preivi. Bilo je to doba kada su ljudi bili puni vrlina, a oni o kojima se pjevalo u narodnim pjesmama i prepričavalo u tmini odaklija, bili su za koju stepenicu junačniji i moralniji, kojih je bilo sramota sa glavom na ramenu vratiti se svom domu bez ratne medalje, ili za ivot pogaziti riječ, ili u svom siromatvu priznati da je gladan. To bijahu ljudi jaki kao odvaljeni od planine, mudraci, gortaci otrih profila kao da su isklesani za spomenike grčkih trgova. Takvi su odakovići.
Bojićeva priča o est generacija odakovićima, iz sela Brezov Do, kolainskog okruga, koji su četiri puta mijenjali prezimena, započinje rodonačelnikom Bećirom a zavrava posve drugačijim Crnogorcima razasutim po nedođijama.
Veoma obiman roman sa mnogo likova, prelijepih opisa: ljudi, prostora, vremena zbilje i mita, sa vrhunskim znanjima srpske leksike, grčke filozofije, psihoanalize... svijeta.
