Remembering Yugoslavia

Yugoslavia cultivated extensive literary connections with its nonaligned friends. Writers from Yugoslavia (journalists, diplomats, culture workers, artists, scholars) traveled to nonaligned countries and brought back accounts of their observations and experiences, published in the press and as book-length travelogues. Part 1 of 2.

With Iva Kosmos and Nebojša Djordjević.

The untranslatable word fjaka describes "a very particular state of mind when you desire nothing more than to gaze off into the distance and abandon all forms of activity. It's “the art of doing nothing" and "a yearning for nothingness." It's also the title of the latest book of travel writing about the former Yugoslavia, out of Poland.

With Aleksandra Wojtaszek (Fjaka: Sezon na Chorwację / Fjaka: Chorvátska sezóna; Fjaka: A Croatian Season).
