Dubravka Ugresic: Literature, Identity and Putin's kisses. | 23 comments (23 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

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.

Re: Dubravka Ugresic: (none / 1)

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.
