The protagonist in Dogs and Others is the first openly lesbian character in modern Serbian literature, but she is also so much more than that, as she encapsulates the zeitgeist of her generation. Coming of age in 1970s Belgrade, then the capital city of thriving, socialist Yugoslavia, we follow Lida and the bohemian life she leads, made more complicated by the trials and tribulations of her eccentric family. The whole novel breathes with a raw sensibility so aptly captured in the voice of the heroine - a striking, rebellious, overtly feminist and somewhat neurotic young woman.

Biljana Jovanovic (1953-96) was a Serbian intellectual who published poetry, three novels, four plays, and a number of nonfiction pieces, mostly connected to her time in the anti-Milosevic opposition of the 1990s. She was known for her feminist and anti-war work with human rights groups and a "flying" (underground) university. John K. Cox is professor of history and department head at North Dakota State University. His translations include five volumes of works by Danilo Kis; short fiction by Ismail Kadare, Ivo Andric, and Mesa Selimovic; and nonfiction by Joseph Roth and Stefan Heym. He lives in Fargo.
