'Theres an immediacy to Lejla Kalamujis writing in Call Me Esteban, a haunting portrayal of what it means to live in a society thats been fragmenting for the vast majority of ones life. The staccato prose and rapid-fire sentences on display help to further those ideas, as well as giving a sense of the narrators anxietyan experience that takes this book even further into a haunting space.' Tobias Carroll,Words Without Borders
'Playful yet piercing, these linked stories weave queer identity with the bitter aftertaste of the Balkan wars... Kalamuji takes autofiction to the next level.' Hamilton Cain,Oprah Daily
