“In Globetrotter, David Albahari explores the consciousness of emigres from the former Yugoslavia, Croatia and Serbia, showing that while abroad, many of us are even more intensely preoccupied with our histories than we were while living in Yugoslavia. His narrative structured out of realistic details and perceptions with self-conscious meditation blending history, civilization and its discontents, and personal experience reaches a density and intensity akin to Krasznahorkai's and Thomas Bernhard's. An intensely idiosyncratic narrative, enjoyable and thoughtful.” SelfConsciousnessMeditationCivilizationPerceptionConsciousDetailsFormerNarrativeThoughtfulRealisticIntensityEnjoyableDiscontentSelf ConsciousPersonal ExperiencesDensitySerbiaYugoslaviaCroatiaGlobetrotters Author:Josip Novakovich

“Your anger is like a flower. In the beginning you may not understand the nature of your anger, or why it has come up.
