2015., Esplanade Books Call No: QWF Fic Nov Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Short story writer, novelist and essayist Josip Novakovich returns with his first collection of stories since being named a finalist for the prestigious 2013 Man Booker International Prize. In Ex-Yu, he explores the major themes of war and exile, of religiosity and existentialism, that have defined his fiction and earned him a place among the pantheon of international writers addressing contemporary literatureœs most pressing questions. Masterpieces such Honey in the Carcase·, White Mustache·, and Acorns·, unflinching in their humanity and realism, take us into the brutal despair of the Bosnian War. In between, dry humour and world-weary wisdom infuse such exile preoccupations as soccer, terrorism, and cigarettes. Taken together, this latest collection comprises a bravely intelligent mosaic of what it means to be torn from oneœs country and oneœs self.
