A brief excursion and other stories
by Antun Šoljan
- 6 Want to read
"A Brief Excursion anchors this collection of fiction by one of the most significant postwar Croatian writers. This novel and six stories, including many from Soljan's first book, Traitors, reveal a sensibility both comic and poignant, devoted to questions of identity and solidarity, of how the one and the many conflict and intermingle - issues that were at the center of both political and literary life for Soljan.
Whether fixing up a summerhouse on the Istrian coast or confronting prejudice and the past in a tourist town, Soljan's characters are stirred to action by an undefined longing, only to find, at the end of their efforts, the stark landscape of self-knowledge and loss."--BOOK JACKET.
