Starting Monday, September 14, Vladimir Arsenijević sets off on a regional tour featuring a series of talks, panel discussions, and readings across five cities – Rijeka, Pula, Kranj, Ljubljana, and Zagreb. The focus of the upcoming events will primarily center on the novel Ghosts (Duhovi), as well as broader topics that connect the book, the entire Cloaca Maxima tetralogy, and Vladimir Arsenijević’s consistent socio-political engagement with today’s regional context.
Accompanying this tour comes wonderful news from Slovenia: Ghosts has just been published in Slovenian by the Beletrina publishing house (translated by Mateja Komel-Snoj), making this an opportunity for the book’s first official presentations to the audience there.
