None Like Her isn’t quite just a novel of a man trying out different women for size ... [it] offers a nice and very broad slice of contemporary Slovenian life and makes for an agreeable read. – Complete Review

This is a clever juxtaposed tale with a female writing a male main character, whom she said in an interview she based on those French film stars of the fifties. But what really works in those women that Matjaž meets, they are more than just a type, Krečič manages to make these types seem real in the dialogue between the characters. – Winstonsdad Blog

Author Biography

Jela Krečič Žižek (1979) is a Slovenian journalist, columnist and philosopher. She writes for the largest national daily Delo, where she had notably published an exclusive interview with Julian Assange in 2013. Her philosophical research focuses on films, TV series and aesthetics, and she has conducted several studies on these topics. She has also co-edited a number of anthologies on contemporary TV series and on German American film director Ernst Lubitsch. One of her essays was published in the English anthology Lubitsch Can’t Wait (Columbia University Press, 2014). None Like Her (Ni druge, 2015), her literary debut, sold out quickly after publication and was very well received in the media. Her second novel The Book of Others (Knjiga drugih) was published in 2018.
