Writing the Yugoslav Wars: Literature, Postmodernism, and the Ethics of Representation

‘Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.’

P. Steiner, Choice Magazine vol 54:11:2017

"[Writing the Yugoslav Wars] fulfills its promise of meticulous analysis of literary discourse, and deserves praise for this."

Guido Snel, Slavic Review Vol 77:01:2020

"Dragana Obradović actually cares about literature, is a sensitive reader, and understands that literature provides a unique window onto social processes. Her willingness to consider writers from all three of the main languages and cultures that made up the former Yugoslav Serbo-Croatian linguistic space is praiseworthy. Overall, this is an excellently written book."

Andrew Baruch Wachtel, President, American University of Central Asia

"Writing the Yugoslav Wars is an important, unique, and timely work for the field of post-Yugoslav and, broadly, Balkan literary and cultural studies."

Nataša Kovačević, Department of English, Eastern Michigan University

"Dragana Obradović has crafted a well-written and insightful work. Most importantly, she presents an innovative argument related to the link between the evolution/transformation of literary postmodernism in Yugoslavia and the ethics and aesthetics of war writing."

Stijn Vervaet, Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages, University of Oslo
