What They're Saying

Critics Review

This is, without doubt, the most important novel of Croatian literature in the last few years * Jutarnji list *A novel that describes two centuries of European history; it is as frightening and as mysterious as the Danube. Brilliant! * Le Figaro *A great novel, certainly one of the best in recent history of Croatian literature * Novi list *

Like Olga Tokarczuk, Šnajder has written a novel about a Europe that has lost its diversity and has beendestroyed by fascism, communism and, in recent times, nationalism … a modern epic

* Le Monde *I think this is one of the great novels of Mitteleuropa, like Tišma, Kiš, the young György Konrád

A masterpiece of European literature … this novel can compete with the great works of world literaturesuch as Grossman’s Life and Fate and Tolstoy’s War and Peace

* NRC *This is a literary testimony to the possibility of writing after Auschwitz, a writing that is difficult and uncertain, but inevitably intimate and personal without exception * Booksa.hr *A masterpiece * La Repubblica *
