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.
