I visited Croatia some years ago but somehow did not get around to reading Josip Novakovichs INFIDELITIES until this week. The stories all deal with the hardships endured by people in, or from, the former Yugoslavia. It is an admirable collection: poignant and funny and subtle; elegantly - sometimes lyrically - written. Here is an excerpt from a story titled Snow Powder, in which a young boy attempts to steal a bottle of brandy, under threat from Serb soldiers entrenched in the nearby mountains. Caught by his father, the child suffers a savage beating. But Mirko would not cry. He ground his teeth; hed rather die than surrender. It struck him as immensely unjust that he was being punished by the man he was about to save. His father could not know that his son was saving him, but now Mirko would not tell him, out of spite... Mirko did not cry, but tears blurred his vision, and the silvery logs and the snowman with watchful eyes and the whole sunstruck yard broke apart in shafts of light in the diamond splendor of his pain. The beauty of it all surprised him, and so he even welcomed the scorching licks of ox leather on his skin.
