Farewell, Cowboy by Olja Savicevic
In this tale of goodies and baddies set on the Adriatic coast, Dada is on a hunt for her own heroes, and the truth behind her brother's unexpected suicide.
"Savicevic's prose, which is always relaxed and descriptive, and sustained with conversational ease, becomes increasingly beautiful in moments of high drama...The humour and sheer anarchy of the action combined with the comic exasperation, unforgettable characters and Dada's wry acceptance of the way life happens to be, make this subversively appealing novel all the more profound; even, unexpectedly, beautiful." Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times; "Dazzling, funny and deadly serious, this perfectly pitched novel about the legacy of the Yugoslav war heralds the arrival of an exciting new European voice.....Savicevic has a rare ability to speak of the deadly serious with a hedonistic lightness that lures you into a spirit of abandon, only to go on to deliver breathtaking blows of insight." Kapka Kassabova, The Guardian
