Description
Dubravka Ugrešić's novel is a haunting and original exploration of art, history, aging, and loss. It begins with the contents of Roland the Walrus's stomach displayed at the Berlin Zoo, alongside seemingly random objects that coalesce to form a poignant narrative. The book weaves together various literary forms, including journal entries, dream-like narratives, and reflections on the Holocaust and Yugoslav Civil War. Ugrešić also shares personal memories of her childhood in a small town, as well as a recipe for Caraway Soup and a moving story of a romantic encounter in Lisbon. Through its vivid denunciation of destructive forces, The Museum of Unconditional Surrender evokes what is at stake in the lives of those who have experienced trauma and exile.
