Stranger Next Door An Anthology From the Other Europe

Informationen zum Autor RICHARD SWARTZ was for decades a correspondent in southeastern Eu­rope for the Stockholm daily Svenska Dagbladet. He is the author of numerous books, including the novel A House in Istria (published in English by New Directions in 2007), Room Service: Reports from Eastern Europe (New Press, 1998), and Address­buch (Hanser, 2005). Klappentext The Balkans have been so troubled by violence and mis­understanding that we have the verb "balkanize," mean­ing to break up into smaller, warring components. While some of the region's artists and thinkers have invari­ably fallen into nationalistic tendencies, the twenty-two prominent authors represented here, from the erstwhile Yugoslavia and its neighbors Albania and Bulgaria, have chosen to attempt to bridge these divides.
