Everyday Stories

This collection of short writings depicts different aspects of ordinary life: work, love, friends, family, sex, as well as language identity, immigration to the Wonderland, and nostalgia for the lost home. Often ironic about herself and her characters, Mima plays with genres to create a loosely-connected narrative throughout different stories. Her collection of "short" stories about the everyday include horror stories, a turnip tale, and a dictionary of unfamiliar words, among others, and a range of peculiar characters, such as Little Girl, Fear, Titoslav (Tisi, or T.), and Zoka, a boy from the Balkans, which are "probably somewhere in South America." Seasoned with the author's street maxims, the book is about the vicissitudes of life, East meeting West and West meeting East, and the ordinary that is extraordinary. Everyday Stories were first published in Bosnian as Obicne Price in 2018 by Bratstvo Dusa, a well-known underground books and comics publishing house from Zagreb, Croatia, founded and run by the underground legend from ex-Yugoslavia, Zdenko Franjic. The black-and-white illustrations by Elvis Dolic contribute to the book's unique character and indie feel. 9781912894345 1912894343 0 BOOK http://books.google.com/books/content?id=u78F0AEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api http://books.google.com/books/content?id=u78F0AEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api en 9781912894345
