Fragma - Paperback

Fragma is the debut collection of short fiction by award-winning Slovenian writer Mojca Kumerdej. Kumerdej's writing is witty, lucid, darkly funny--a style that leads us to sympathize with, even as we loathe, characters who are obsessed with their luxury cars and jealous of their own daughters. Her stories of sadism, masochism, codependence, and violence in multiple forms introduce us to an utterly unique voice, valuable for what it tells us about contemporary Slovenia, but even more for what it can tell us about ourselves.
