“Stylish and brisk, these stories refuse to wallow in tragedy, becoming instead a convincing testament to the consolations of art.”—Publishers Weekly starred review
With unapologetic vividness, Lejla Kalamujić depicts pre- and post-war Sarajevo by charting a daughter coping with losing her mother, but discovering herself. From imagined conversations with Franz Kafka to cozy apartments, psychiatric wards, and cemeteries, Call Me Esteban is a piercing meditation on a woman grasping at memories in the name of claiming her identity.
Lejla Kalamujic is an award-winning queer writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Jennifer Zoble translates Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and Spanish language literature. She is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies program at NYU.
