Description

We spoke to Olja Knežević, author of Catherine the Great and the Small, about being the first woman writer to be translated into English, the influence of war on Balkan literature and culture, and the characters in the novel. Catherine the Great and the Small is translated brilliantly into English by Paula Gordon & Ellen Elias-Bursac, and Heather Craney's reading brings Catherine's world to life – but here Olja speaks in her own words about knowing and loving her roots.
