Candid and unfettered, Sven Popovic's Last Night is a playfully existential meditation on youth and the search for the self.
Acclaimed in his native Croatia, Popovic's unique blend of intimacy and contemplation has garnered him a following in the alternative literary scene of Zagreb--and beyond. With an intellectualism that never takes itself too seriously, an unaffected fluidity of form, and a keen eye for the smallest, strangest moments that color our lives, his stories weave an offbeat tapestry of urban life.
Last Night is the first short story collection from Sven Popovic, whose writing was previously featured in Dalkey Archive Press's Best European Fiction 2017, and his first full work to be released in English. Slickly translated by Vinko Zgaga, Popovic's sometimes-dreamlike, sometimes-conversational vignettes offer a shrewd, original outlook on life's absurdities.
