Abstract:
Yugoslav culture was an amalgam of opposing traditions—Western and Eastern, urban and rural, bourgeois and communist. This essay identifies challenging references to domestic culture in a selection of post-Yugoslav novels set in socialist Yugoslavia and analyzes the felicity and diversity of strategies and methods employed in their English translations.
