PERENNIAL POSSIBLE NOBEL PRIZE WINNER: Ugresic is always in the mix for the Nobel Prize—it's just a matter of time.
CULT FAVORITE: The novella "Steffie Cvek in the Jaws of Life" was made into a movie in Croatia and truly launched Ugresic's career.
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS: After Ugresic left Dalkey Archive for Open Letter, this book has languished and was one of the only works of her fiction that wasn't readily available.
