New Novel by Drago Jančar
Drago Jančar (born 1948), writer, playwright and essayist, is one of the most esteemed, widely read and translated Slovene writers. He has received notable Slovene and international awards for his works, among them the Herder Prize, the Premio Hemingway in Italy, and the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger (Best Foreign Book Prize) in France for his novel I Saw Her That Night.
This spring we saw the publication of Jančar’s eleventh novel, And Love Itself (originally published by Beletrina), long awaited among literary connoisseurs and other fans of his writing. Months after its publication it is still receiving strong acclaim from critics and readers alike.
The novel is already being translated into German (Paul Zsolnay/Hanser) and French (Phebus) and it instantly became a bestseller in Slovenian, currently in its third reprint.
