Contemporary Macedonian FictionAuthor(s): Paul Filev\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Dalkey Archive Press, United States\nImprint: Dalkey Archive Press\nISBN-13: 9781628972818, 978-1628972818\nSynopsis\nThe stories that Paul Filev has collected in this anthology of recent Macedonian fiction introduce English-language readers to a literature that has long been overlooked. Ranging from melancholy realism, such as Rumena Buarovskas Lily, to surreal fantasias, such as Tomislav Osmanlis Strained, in which a stressed-out businessman eats his own computer, these texts provide a portrait of a country in constant transformation, still haunted by the Soviet past but quickly hurtling into the technocratic future. Comic and tragic, po-faced and hysterical, Contemporary Macedonian Fiction allows us to discover some of the most exciting young writers at work today.
