Joyce's Pupil by Drago Jancar

A collection from one of Slovenia's most prominent authors, Drago JanUcar. The characters who populate the stories stand at the periphery of tragic histories; they see the ground open under their feet yet remain leaning above the pit.
Drago Jancar, born in Maribor in 1948, is a novelist, short story writer, essayist and playwright. His works have been translated into many European languages, and his plays have enjoyed a number of foreign productions. In 1974 he was taken into custody over alleged propaganda, and he was active in the democratization of his native country as President of the Slovenian PEN Centre between 1987 and 1991. In 1993 he received the highest Slovenian literary award for his lifetime achievement, and in 1994 he won the European Short Story Award. He lives in Ljubljana.
