Love Novel (Biblioasis International Translation #44) By Ivana Sajko, Mima Simic (Translator) Cover Image

Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Published: Biblioasis - February 6th, 2024

Reading this book was like being on a speeding train careening uncontrollably toward a steep cliff. While doom felt all but certain, the novel's conclusion was almost beside the point, for me. It's all about the journey you're taken on by Ivana Sajko's twisting, turning, relentless prose. Can a sentence be acrobatic? And what an impressive translation by Mima Simic. [Adrienne]
