Journal Article
Translating Dubravka Ugresic and David Albahari
2010
Overview
Dubravka Ugresic and David Albahari share a generational postmodern aesthetic, but they have embraced these artistic challenges differently. Ugresic is outward-facing, employs narrative rooted in folk literature, and her voice is wry, personal and outspokenly critical; Albahari's voice is darkly humorous, aloof, and his writing is introverted, experimental. When faced with the artistic issues arising from the wars of the 1990s, Ugresic first turned to essay and later returned to fiction, while Albahari stayed with fiction, moving from short stories to shorter and longer novels, at a time when both of them were taking up domicile abroad, Ugresic in the Netherlands, Albahari in Canada. During and after the wars of the 90s, they used the poetic they had each developed in the pre-war period to address the wounds of war, loss and dislocation. Both writers have stayed in touch with domestic audiences while being widely translated and read abroad. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
