Balkan beauty, Balkan blood : modern Albanian short stories
This collection of stories from the last three decades presents a literature at once venerable and nascent, a tradition in the making. Reflected here are some of the literary paradoxes of Eastern Europe today: the startling originality of the new uneasily coupled with the strains of history; the sophistication and self-consciousness of late modernity married to the simplicity of a literature finding its voice; a refusal of political influence and pressure expressed through frankly political subject matter.
