Award-winning writer Josip Novakovich brings his own particular blend of village wit and urban sophistication to this collection of stories, some fabulist and absurd, some charged with the realities and politics of war-torn Croatia. A darkly ironic voice emerges in these provocative tales, filled with grim energy, sly amusement, and often nightmarish situations. Following his critically acclaimed previous titles, Yolk and Apricots from Chernobyl , Salvation and Other Disasters shows us once again why Kirkus Reviews said, "[It] should be a source of some national pride, that Novakovich is now an American writer."
