Since 1997 Mihael Paar has written numerous music critiques and reviews as well as satiric texts published in local newspapers of his hometown Samobor (Samobor Papers, Sraka - Carnival Papers, Radio Samobor).
With ever intrigue choice of topics, his texts are entireties of rounded off compositions, a syntax multi-layered in materials and polished to the detail. Affinity towards different types of literary styles of expression (essays, critiques, satires, polemics, analysis-synthesis) has been tended since his high-school days; so far he has written more than a hundred either longer or shorter authorial texts.
Since 2004 he has been a columnist for The Herald of Samobor & St. Nedelja writing about current existential topics and problems of modern man in the series of columns named Genius Loci. In the season 2005/2006 he extends the column with itineraries.
