It has been a long time since I’ve wanted to proselytize about a new book as much as I do about Ivana Sajko’s Every Time We Say Goodbye . . . It’s formally and narratively thrilling, a very slim novel that conveys a whole pressurized life. The translation, by Mima Simić, is extraordinary.\"—Garth Greenwell, author of Small Rain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA soliloquy of self-examination, upheaval, loss, hope, disillusionment, ambition and failure—Ivana Sajko paints a portrait of an intellectual at a crossroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA man on a train, propelled from a small town on the south-eastern coast of Europe to Berlin. As the wheels turn, his mind feverishly clacks along, tracing his own past—and that of Europe—to a moment of violence he must flee, moving him further and farther away from the one person he loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipwrecks and border pushbacks; epidemics and industrial ruins; a family separated by economic necessity; a brother lost to crime; love and fear and memories of happier times in Berlin—yet through it all runs a silver thread of hope spun by a far-off friend. Every Time We Say Goodbye is an extended soliloquy of self-examination, upheaval, loss, hope, disillusionment, ambition, and failure, and is a profoundly stark and furious novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catnap Books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":53769463202058,"sku":"9781771966887","price":5.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4730\/2666\/files\/7FB5F54F-4111-4719-A099-FE57AE68D98C.jpg?v=1789825229","url":"https:\/\/catnapbooks.nl\/products\/every-time-we-say-goodbye-biblioasis-international-translation-series-54-by-ivana-sajko-mima-simic","provider":"Catnap Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
