Have a Nice Day by Dubravka Ugresic
Dubravka Ugresic is Croatia's finest living writer. Escaping from a dreadful situation in Zagreb, she finds herself living in Middletown, Conneticut. There she compiles a witty, sardonic dictionary of everyday American life shot through with absurdity and her awareness of the barbaric realities of Sarajevo and Dubrovnik. Diary, autobiography, travel book and fiction: this is a strange and lovely book. Like Waugh or Nabokov, the author registers American life in a deadly deadpan voice. Jogging. Shrinks. Personal Organizers. Growth. Have a Nice Day. Couch Potato. The Body Beautiful.Dubravka Ugresic is the author of several works of fiction and several essay collections, including the NBCC award finalist, Karaoke Culture. She went into exile from Croatia after being label a witch for her anti-nationalistic stance during the Yugoslav war. She now resides in the Netherlands.
David Williams did his doctoral research on the post-Yugoslav writings of Dubravka Ugresic and the idea of a literature of the Eastern European ruins. He is the author of Writing Postcommunism.
