"Where You Come From" by Saša Stanišić is another great southeast European book of recent years. It's originally published in German because the author's family came to Germany during the Yugoslaw war. The book circles around questions of belonging and the history of Yugoslawia
I love these videos because I find out about so many authors that I didn't know but now want to read! My TBR gets longer every time you talk about Central and Eastern European authors because you make them sound so interesting and fantastic.
I love watching your reviews of books from/about Eastern and Central Europe! In fact, I waited almost two weeks to watch it because it was the most anticipated video in my feed and I didn't want it to be over! 🙂I would love to hear your thoughts on 'Yugoslavia, My Fatherland', also by Goran Vojnović, if you decide to read it.
rly love this ! i love how you talk abou central and easter european writing especially bc i feel like the complexities and heterogeneity of the whole region was completely ignored/dismissed in most things i learnt about europe at school and it's uite overwhelming to try and start to learn now. but yeah thank you !
My ethnicity is mostly (recent) immigrant Czech in both sides of my family, and you are the only channel I've ever been able to find any kind of recommendations based on that and I truly thank you for your research on this era, many bohemians emigrated to low income areas (as you would know) and preserving this small culture is surprisingly difficult
Hi, Very interesting video. I need to read more Central and Eastern European novels. Have you read 'The Physics of Sorrow' by the Bulgarian author Georgi Gospodinov, translated by Angela Rodel and published by Open Letter?
Added Abigail by Magda Szabó to my tbr. How could I not when Claire compared it to Anne of Greene Gables, also I love The Door. On a sidenote, I adore your lovely top. Cheers.
Just found your channel and I loved this video! I also read The Hot Summer of 1968 last year and had very mixed feelings about it. Also Alexievich is one of my favourite writers of all time! Thank you for filming this! x
My Heart is my favorite book so far this year. I recently found his Sarajevo Blues which I'm looking forward to reading. Abigail is another favorite. I recently got Iza's Ballad. I appreciate your videos on Central and Eastern Europe because I am trying to read more fiction from this area, especially Croatian fiction.
Ahoj, Jennifer! Out of curiosity, do you have any Czech/Slovak ancestry? I know you spent time in Prague, but I’m curious if there’s more to your interest. I’m American as well, but I live with my Czech husband in Prague and it’s wonderful to hear someone talking about the literature and history of this region (and surrounding areas of Central/Eastern Europe) since it’s not common on booktube. Very niche, I love it 😄 These large wrap ups are great, so many books I haven’t heard of. Thanks!
The most beautiful woman on RUclips. I almost said lady, but lady is the public persona. Woman is the real, eternal beauty of matter and spirit combined. Before you disappeared forever from BookTube, I wanted to assure myself of my affinity.

I read The Door by Magda Szagbo a few years ago and loved it. I have Katalin Street and Abigail on my kindle TBR.

very cool focus, been more curious about the area and era recently from works of bela tarr, laszlo krasznahorkai, and mircea cartarescu

Here for all there is to learn about the region.
Loved this video so much. I’ve read a couple of these books (Abigail, The Unwomanly Face of War) last year, and I have a few on my TBR.
My Heart is my favorite book so far this year. I recently found his Sarajevo Blues which I'm looking forward to reading. Abigail is another favorite. I recently got Iza's Ballad. I appreciate your videos on Central and Eastern Europe because I am trying to read more fiction from this area, especially Croatian fiction.
Thanks for the fabulous recs! I will try to get them. Do you know if some of them are translated into Spanish? Love from Ana, from Argentina
Some good recommendations as always.
