Brief Description:
Winner of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature As with the rest
of her literary career, Dubravka Ugresic’s final work, A Muzzle for
Witches, is uncategorizable. On its surface, the book is an conversation
with the literary critic Merima Omeragić, covering topics such as “Women
and the Male Perspective,” “The Culture of (Self)Harm,” and “The Melancholy
of Vanishing.” But the book is more than a simple interview: It’s a roadmap
of the literary world, exploring the past century and all of its violence
and turmoil–especially in Yugoslavia, Ugresic’s birth country–and
providing a direction for the future of feminist writing. One of the
greatest thinkers of the past hundred years, Ugresic was one-of-a-kind, who
novels and literary essays pushed the bounds of form and content, and A
Muzzle for Witches offers the chance to see her at her most raw, and most
playful.
