Description



* Dubravka Ugresic - Novels, Short Stories, and Essays (11 books)

DUBRAVKA UGREŠIĆ (1949 – 2023)
was a Yugoslav-Croatian and Dutch writer. The author of a string of novels and essay collections, she won the prestigious Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2016. She was mentioned frequently as a Nobel Prize candidate for an astonishing body of work that spanned European culture, history and politics, all viewed through the unique prism of her own experience and exile.

Ugrešić was born and raised in Yugoslavia but found the independent Croatia that emerged during the Balkan wars of the early 1990s impossible to accept. She spoke out vociferously in opposition to both the conflict and the nationalisms that lit and stoked the fires. Following a series of public attacks accusing her of anti-patriotism, and proclaimed a "traitor", a "public enemy" and a "witch", she finally left Croatia in 1993 because she "could not adapt to the permanent terror of lies in public, political, cultural, and everyday life." She spent time in academic posts at U.S. universities before settling in Amsterdam.

While she wrote in the Croatian language, Ugrešić hated being labelled a Croatian writer, and described herself as "post-Yugoslav, transnational, or, even more precisely, postnational." Patriotism and nationalism tainted opinions and viewpoints, she felt, and were too riddled with false memory and fake narrative for a writer to produce genuinely plausible work.

Her novels THE MUSEUM OF UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER (1997) and THE MINISTRY OF PAIN (2014) tackled themes of exile, remembrance and this kind of false memory, contributing to Ugrešić’s nomination for the Man Booker International Prize in 2009. Of that body of work, MINISTRY is thought by some critics to be her finest novel, dark and witty, smart and absorbing. Like Ugrešić herself, the protagonist has left Zagreb for Amsterdam where she teaches the languages and literature of the former Yugoslavia, a subject that "has disappeared along with its country of origin". In the novel BABA YAGA LAID AN EGG (2007), Ugrešić drew on the Slavic mythological figure of Baba Yaga to tell a modern fairy tale about gender inequalities and discrimination.

Ugrešić also wrote about her experience of collective nationalist hysteria and paranoia in the essay collection THE CULTURE OF LIES (1996). According to one reviewer, "[h]er writing attacks the savage stupidities of war, punctures the macho heroism that surrounds it, and plumbs the depths of the pain and pathos of exile." She described her "personal case" in the essay "The Question of Perspective", included in KARAOKE CULTURE (2011).

THANK YOU FOR NOT READING (2002) is a biting critique of book publishing: its agents, subagents, and scouts, supermarket-like bookstores, and book fairs that have little to do with books. In EUROPE IN SEPIA (2013), she continued to write about the dark sides of modern societies, about the "homogenization" of people induced by media, politics, religion, common beliefs and the marketplace.

Dubravka Ugrešić died in Amsterdam on March 17, 2023.
