From Nowhere to Nowhere
Bekim Sejranovic's From Nowhere to Nowhere is a subtle yet unforgettable meditation on the factors that shape identity. The novel's unnamed narrator, raised by his grandparents and scattered to the wind from his hometown of Brcko, Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, travels to Croatia and Norway, trying to reclaim a sense of self he isn't sure he ever possessed in the first place. From his days playing soccer with friends on Unity Street outside his home to Muslim funerals, his job as an interpreter for Balkan refugees, and his fractious relationships with women, a nomadic aesthetic emerges brilliantly rendering what it means to live a life from which you have always been removed.
Endless Endings
"Endless endings is an unusual literary work which combines poetry and fiction, contemporaneity and tradition. Some of the themes have been intertwined throughout Neva Lukic's work ever since she started writing: questioning the possibility of communication between people and the tendency towards fantasy. The author plays with the traditional genres such as fairy tale, myth, story and poem, and contemplates the issues of contemporary everyday life in the unusual frames of fantasy." (Vesna Solar) Neva Lukic (Zagreb, 1982) has published four books in the Croatian language (poetry & short stories) and a children's picture book. The collection of poems Haljina obscura received a prize for young poets from Matrix Croatica cultural society (2010). Endless Endings is the translation of a collection of short stories entitled More i zaustavljene priče, published by the Croatian Writers' Society (Zagreb, 2016) and republished by Treci Trg (Belgrade, 2018). Since 2011 Lukic has lived in the Netherlands, and Endless Endings in a certain way reflects her expat experience.

Catch the Rabbit

She’s comfortable with her life in Dublin, with her partner, their avocado plant, and their naturist neighbour. But when Lejla calls her and demands she come home to Bosnia, Sara finds that she can’t say no.

Selidba
U već mitskome književnome mjestu, na sarajevskom Sepetarevcu, u stanu svoga odrastanja, u kojemu mu je umrla majka, u koji se slila većina ostavštine Stublerovih i Rejcovih, autor prebire po dokumentima, po knjigama, po materijalnim i nematerijalnim ostacima, po povijesti jedne kuferaške obitelji. Predmeti i dokumenti, novčanik, partijska knjižica, češagija, djedovi pokušaji autobiografije i još mnogo toga pripovijedaju priču ne samo jedne obitelji već i jednoga grada, djetinjstva i odrastanja u kojoj autor ne štedi nikoga, a ponajmanje sebe i svoje bližnje.
The Willoughbys
Now a Netflix animated film starring Will Forte, Maya Rudolph, Alessia Cara, Terry Crews, Martin Short, Jane Krakowski, Séan Cullen, and Ricky Gervais! From the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Giver and Number the Stars, comes a "hilarious" (Booklist, starred review) and wonderfully old-fashioned story about a mother and father who are all too eager to be rid of their four children . . . and four children who are all too happy to be rid of their parents. The Willoughby's—Timothy; his twin brothers, Barnaby A and Barnaby B; and their little sister, Jane—are old-fashioned children who adore old-fashioned adventures. Unfortunately, the Willoughby parents are not very fond of their children, and the truth is that the siblings are not too keen on their parents either. Little do the Willoughby kids know that their neglectful mother and father are hatching an evil plan to get rid of them! Not to worry—these resourceful adventurers have a few plans of their own. But they have no idea what lies ahead in their quest to rid themselves of their ghastly parents and live happily ever after.
Narrative des Wandels
Der Band ist ein Versuch, auf die Transformationsprozesse der europäischen Gesellschaften, die ab 1989 in Mittel- und Osteuropa stattgefunden haben, zurückzublicken und ihre literarischen, historischen und kulturellen Zeugnisse zu analysieren, die innerhalb von mehr als dreißig Jahren in ausgewählten postsozialistischen Ländern (Polen, Russland und Balkanländer) entstanden sind. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Bandes liegt auf Erzählweisen über Gesellschaften im Wandel, auf der kulturellen Symbolik dieser Zeit, auf der Darstellung des Weges zur Demokratisierung der Kultur, des öffentlichen Lebens und der Institutionen. Im Zentrum des Interesses stehen ebenfalls die Formen der Regionalisierung von Kulturen, der Emanzipation von Sprachen und kleineren Kulturen oder neu entstehende Identitätsdiskurse und ihr Einfluss auf Gesellschaften. Die Begriffe von Nation, Gemeinschaft und Erinnerung spielen dabei eine wichtige Rolle.
Unspoken
'Strong characters raise questions of how well we know those close to us...gripping' Financial Times The dead man was a drunk; a regular on the park benches of Gotland's city centre. He had been celebrating winning 80,000 Krona at the races. His body is discovered by one of his drinking buddies: he is drenched in blood and someone or something has left a hole the size of a fist in the back of his head. It's winter on the island of Gotland. The tourists have returned home. The tree branches are bare, the sky is sleet grey and the days are getting shorter and darker. Winter is a quiet time for Chief Inspector Anders Knutas and Detective Karin Jacobsson; the tourists tend to take the violent cr...
