Description: Winner of the 1998 Misha Djordjevic Award for the best book on Serbian culture in English, this is the first English anthology of Serbian fiction in thirty years. The anthology represents works by established writers with international reputations and promising new writers spanning the generation born between 1930 and 1960.
Review Quotes: The stories offer a wide variety of themes and styles and create a rich and satisfying whole, proving the good taste and knowledge of the editors, the aesthetic value of contemporary Serbian prose, and the need for a collection of this kind. . . . [It is] an outstanding contribution to the body of South Slavic/Eastern European literature available in English.-- "Sibelan Forrester, Swarthmore College"
