@alifeonbooks: An American's take on Croatian literature... Miroslav Krleza is one of Croatia 's most heralded authors and after reading On the Edge of Reason (Published by @ndpublishing and translated by Zora Depolo) it's easy to understand why. This book, though quite short, contains some of the best writing I've read, and Krleza's ability to critique the hidden double standards of society is second to none, which made it an apropos read given our current climate. If you love satirical novels that tackle politics, and philosophy, this one is for you. . #literature #croatia #fiction #bookreview #classicliterature #BookTok

Krleza is one of the Croatian literary giants, glad that you picked one of his books! His writing style is absolutely superb and I’m glad that it translates well into English too.
