“Ugresic never commits a sloppy thought or a turgid sentence. Under her gaze, the tiredest topics of the ‘tired’ continent (migration, multiculturalism, ‘new Europe’) spring to life.”

—The Independent (London)

“Dubravka Ugresic is the philosopher of evil and exile, and the storyteller of many shattered lives the wars in the former Yugoslavia produced.”

—Charles Simic

“Ugresic must be numbered among what Jacques Maritain called the dreamers of the true; she draws us into the dream.”

—Richard Eder, New York Times

“Like Nabokov, Ugresic affirms our ability to remember as a source for saving our moral and compassionate identity.”

—John Balaban, Washington Post

“As long as some, like Ugresic, who can write well, do, there will be hope for the future.”

—New Criterion

“Ugresic’s wit is bound by no preconceived purposes, and once the story takes off, a wild freedom of association and adventurous discernment is set in motion. . . . Ugresic dissects the social world.”

—World Literature Today
