The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

Children's & YAMay 2020Pes Moko a jeho oko
by Mirka Ábelová, Ivana Šáteková
Moko the dog only has one eye. Because everyone laughs at him, he lives far away from people and animals. One day he says to himself that he is tired of being alone. He packs a map, a compass, a blanket and some pellets and sets off on an adventurous journey to find his new eye. He wanders to an amusement park where he meets little Vili. He helps him search for the new eye and together they meet various "strange" creatures. These teach them that we don't have to be afraid of what is different from us. That goodness and beauty come from somewhere else. And that there are more important things than how we look.

FictionIVANA IN FRONT OF THE SEA
by VERONIKA SIMONITI
Winner of THE KRESNIK AWARD 2020 for the best novel in Slovenia. Rights sold to Croatia, Serbia, Albania and China! IVANA IN FRONT OF THE SEA (Ivana pred morjem) The narrator returns from Paris, where she has created a home for herself, to the Primorje region in Slovenia in order to clear the apartment that belonged to her late mother for a serious buyer, and in a heap of yellowed photographs she finds a picture of her grandmother, holding her five-year old mother’s hand, whilst her other hand lies on her pregnant stomach. The year it was taken, 1943, was one of troubling events and rapid change. What happened to the unborn child? Through a number of parallel stories taking place at different times and generations of one family, Veronika Simoniti’s novel presents the reader with the collective past and individual fates. These move between Paris and Primorska, also stopping in Gorenjska, Ljubljana and many other places, even in Serbia as refugees, but all this movement cannot break the human bonds. Even the hard times after the war are written about in the author’s gentle manner, looking from ever new standpoints at what we share. A beautiful novel about unattractive times and things.

Historical fictionUnterstadt
by Ivana Šojat-Kuči
The novel Unterstadt tells the story of an urban family of German origin living in Osijek from the end of the nineteenth till the end of the twentieth century. It is narrated through the portrayal of the destinies of four generations of women – a great grandmother, a grandmother, mother, and a daughter – their shattered illusions, the education of their children, the historical events that brutally lash out at them. Ivana Šojat-Kuči creates a world rich in detail and nuance, all her characters, both major and minor, are expressive and suggestive, abundant in virtues and flaws, complex and multidimensional, as life itself is. By depicting a clash of generations through the female characters of a family, the author creates a world in which, often due to bizarre strokes of fate or wrongly selected life-cards, both horrible and beautiful events occur. Yet the central theme, running through all the generations and all the characters, is that of hiding away from the past, fleeing from it, concealing it, which sooner or later leads to traumas and misunderstandings. Unterstadt is a book about a family and a town, written in the manner of the best and greatest modernist novels. Through the history of one family, it speaks of the twentieth century in a multiethnic town, of dictatorships, of wrongly selected sides, of fate which one can hardly defy. Unterstadt reveals the richness of Ivana Šojat-Kuči’s narrative talent, and it is thus not surprising that she has emerged as one of the most interesting writers of contemporary Croatian prose.

Firewood of Sarajevo
by Said Khatibi
In Firewood of Sarajevo, Said Khatibi compares and contrasts the sad destinies of two countries. At one time tied by bonds of friendship and ideology, both have become embroiled in futile civil wars, descending into hell and reaching a state where pain is the only common denominator uniting people. In Algeria, as in Bosnia Herzegovina, the twentieth century had a bloody end, as people were torn apart by issues of religion and ethnicity. The novel’s protagonists, Salim and Ivana, have in common the fact that they have both fled destructive war and hatred in their countries, and gone to build a new life in Slovenia. Through them, the ugliness of conflict between brothers belonging to the same land is exposed, now brothers only in pain. Even in exile, the smell of war lingers in their nostrils and its effects are felt in their everyday lives.

FictionFebruary 2020The Church
by Avgust Demšar
The Church is a typical whodunnit crime novel. The crimes once again take place in native Slovenian surroundings, mostly in the fictitious village of Vodnjaki, where it seems that a special type of evil resides. The tenth, jubilee novel by Demšar is more extensive, the story is more complex and the side stories are even more surprising. The author lures us into a whirlwind of events and holds the reader in suspense even when he delves into the relationships between his mainstay characters known from his previous novels and their characterisation. The rising action that triggers further events is the murder of a high-level church dignitary. Even before the criminal investigators can get down to work, new murders and crimes are reported. In addition to the main storyline, Demšar touches on many different current social issues. This intensely suspenseful read full of intellectual challenges leads the reader on a path to solving an exceptionally complex case.
