Jugoslavija, moja domovina

Jugoslavija, moja domovina

Goran Vojnović

Vladan grew up in Ljubljana convinced that his father, a former JNA officer, died at the beginning of the war. The only thing he remembers with nostalgia is growing up in Pula, because since they moved to Fužine, his mother and Vladan have become stranger

When he discovers that his father, a general in the Serbian army, has been accused of serious war crimes, Vladan has no choice but to go on a search. Yugoslavia, My Homeland is a powerful story about the collapse of a world, about destinies, about loneliness, about battles with the ghosts of the past. Goran Vojnović has once again shown why he is the most respected young Slovenian writer today. His powerful characters, full of love and bitterness, question all the important issues of the post-Yugoslav transition in a novel imbued with humor. Yugoslavia, My Homeland leaves no one indifferent who remembers the country from Vardar to Triglav, and it brings to new generations, without flattery, the great story of a country that has disappeared from the political map. Yugoslavia, My Homeland is one of those novels from these, regional spaces, in which a new view of the “war of the fathers” is established and which, above all, insists on demystifying the truth, no matter how unpleasant it may be.
