| Book Description | The protagonist in Dogs and Others is the first openly lesbian character in modern Serbian literature, but she is also so much more than that, as she encapsulates the zeitgeist of her generation. Coming of age in 1970s Belgrade, then the capital city of thriving, socialist Yugoslavia, we follow Lida and the bohemian life she leads, made more complicated by the trials and tribulations of her eccentric family. The whole novel breathes with a raw sensibility so aptly captured in the voice of the heroine - a striking, rebellious, overtly feminist and somewhat neurotic young woman. |
| About the Author | Biljana Jovanovic was a Serbian intellectual who grew up in late Yugoslavia and studied at the University of Belgrade. She was an early and active member of a number of important human rights groups in Yugoslavia, beginning in 1982. She was also an organizer and participant in major antiwar campaigns and demonstrations in 1991 and 1992, and she helped found a flying (underground) workshop/university in 1992. Jovanovic wrote in almost all major genres; she published poetry, three novels, four plays, and a number of nonfiction pieces, mostly connected to her time in the anti-Milosevic opposition of the 1990s. She died in Belgrade at the frighteningly young age of forty-three. Widely known among intellectuals and activists for her feminist and antiwar work, she was also an innovative and courageous writer of fiction and drama. |
