Yes, I'm at the University of Buffalo, and I'm friends with Dubravka's publisher. We had dinner and hosted her in house with our students. D. was very gracious with students.

Re: Dubravka Ugresic: (none / 1)

I had no idea! Her new publisher at Open Letter? (I'm googling - I see they are out of Rochester, all makes sense now!) I am really excited about them - it's so hard to find a lot of authors in translation, or even learn fo their existence, really. Though I have to admit, I do question their choice of cover design... So freaking green! lol.

They are undertaking an act of cultural heroism. Many translations of fiction a year in a country that only publishes 400.

Bravo Open letter. may you develop a heckuva backlist.
