Houses are prose, except they sound lyrical. Reflections full of stories, shorter landscapes that do not develop into a real text, a narrative. The true label for his collection, as Mojca Pišek wrote, is lyrical-reflective prose; Jakob combines all three in the best possible way: narrative, lyricism and reflection. 

When Jure Jakob writes his often first-person narratives, he shapes them as poems, often with a circular structure, as if he were writing about a closed universe. And so, when reading his essays, the reader observes with amazement events, however familiar, and yet events that testify that there is ground beneath everyone's feet, that there is heaven on earth, that life can be beautiful and meaningful, the jury for the Rožanč Award wrote in its justification.
