Milica Mićić Dimovska and the challenges of subtlety

Abstract

The author considers the importance of translation in conveying the ideas and artistic production of less well-known authors, in this case Serbian author Milica Mićić Dimovska (1947-2013). Concentrating on two of her novels, Poslednji zanosi MSS (1996) and Mrena (2002), the article discusses potential political interpretations of Mićić Dimovska's writing, with some attention to its critical reception in Serbia, and speculates on how each of the novels might translate into English.
