"This [book] deals with a topic that is highly relevant in the context of actual tendencies in European literatures, culture, and society. It brings forth the question of memory related to significant historic events. More precisely, it investigates the way these memories are represented and transmitted in contemporary literary works on the one hand, and how they affect (professional and lay) readers and their memory frames in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in some Northwestern countries on the other." * Silvia Rybarova, Institut of World Literature SASMore details
