The Stranger Next Door

An Anthology from the Other Europe

Herausgeber: Swartz, Richard

Beschreibung

The Balkans have been so troubled by violence and misunderstanding that we have the verb "balkanize," meaning to break up into smaller, warring components. While some of the region's artists and thinkers have invariably fallen into nationalistic tendencies, the twenty-two prominent authors represented here, from the erstwhile Yugoslavia and its neighbors Albania and Bulgaria, have chosen to attempt to bridge these divides.
