Whatever Happened to Yugoslavia?
Saturday 21 September at 7:00 pm
FreeA free talk by a local writer David Fulton on the disappearance of Yugoslavia, looking at the country’s diversity (ethnic, linguistic, religious and cultural). After dealing lightly with these issues it will move on to the four years running up to the death of Tito (1980) when he was an English-language lector in Prizren, Pristina and Novi Sad. The experiences he had in those cities will then be related to a book of short stories set in Yugoslavia that he has recently published called ‘A Country of the Mind’ (Brigand, London). The presentation will be followed by a short question-and-answer session.
