Bookquest: Zagreb, Croatia

10/16/2013 - Skolska Knjiga


Our Man in Iraq by Robert Perisic

Our Man in Iraq is a novel about a Croatian journalist whose cousin disappears in the Iraq war. I thought it would be interesting to get a perspective on recent world history from Croatia, whose own history is moving pretty quickly.

The bookstore Skolska Knjiga in Zagreb's main square had a couple shelves of English language literature, including many of a series "The Best of Croatian Literature" (Our Man in Iraq is part of this series).
