Excerpt from the book
Once upon a time in YugoslaviaWhile Ivan Ivanji was in Weimar, he received an email from Laguna with a photo of the cover of his latest book Once upon a time in Yugoslavia. He liked her. He looked forward to it as he looked forward to every new book. And he wrote dozens of them, he couldn't even list them all himself. It turned out to be "testamentary", the last one. He died on May 9, the Day of Victory over Fascism. The book arrived in bookstores a few weeks later. It is a testimony of a still young state that has just begun to stand on its own self-governing, socialist legs. It is the memory of a man with an elephant's memory, who always doubted him, a man who was present on so many scenes, like few in Serbia, Tibor Varadi wrote in the preface and concluded: "If we are interested in where we actually are, I think we should read Ivanjija". On this occasion, we publish an excerpt from the book
