Last Night av Sven Popovic

<p><b>Candid and unfettered, Sven Popovic’s <i>Last Night</i> is a playfully existential meditation on youth and the search for the self.</b></p><p>Acclaimed in his native Croatia, Popovic’s unique blend of intimacy and contemplation has garnered him a following in the alternative literary scene of Zagreb—and beyond. With an intellectualism that never takes itself too seriously, an unaffected fluidity of form, and a keen eye for the smallest, strangest moments that color our lives, his stories weave an offbeat tapestry of urban life.</p><p><i>Last Night</i> is the first short story collection from Sven Popovic, whose writing was previously featured in Dalkey Archive Press’s <i>Best European Fiction 2017</i>, and his first full work to be released in English. Slickly translated by Vinko Zgaga, Popovic’s sometimes-dreamlike, sometimes-conversational vignettes offer a shrewd, original outlook on life’s absurdities.</p>
