Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia-no longer on the map. East Europe of the
socialist period may seem like a historical oddity, apparently so
different from everything before and after. Yet the masterpieces of
literature and cinema from this largely forgotten "Second World,"
as well as by the authors formed in it and working in its
aftermath, surprise and delight with their contemporary resonance.
This book introduces and illuminates a number of these works. It
explores how their aesthetic ingenuity discovers ways of engaging
existential and universal predicaments, such as how one may survive
in the world of victimizations, or imagine a good city, or broach
the human boundaries to live as a plant. Like true classics of
world art, these novels, stories, and films-to rephrase Bohumil
Hrabal-keep "telling us things about ourselves we don't know." In
lively and jargon-free prose, Gordana P. Crnkovic builds on her
rich teaching experience to create paths to these works and reveal
how they changed lives.
