Panorama

By Dušan Šarotar and Rawley Grau

Part journalism, part travelogue, part fiction, Panorama is one of the most daring and original literary works of 2016.
In Panorama Dusan Sarotar takes the reader on a deeply reflective yet kaleidoscopic journey from northern to southern Europe. In a manner reminiscent of W.G. Sebald, Sarotar supplements the narrative with photographs, which help to blur the lines between fiction and journalism. The writers experience of landscape is bound up in a personal yet elusive search for self-discovery, as he and a diverse group of international fellow exiles relate in their individual and distinctive voices their unique stories and their common quest for somewhere they might call home.
Along with Three Loves, One Death by Evald Flisar and None Like Her by Jela Krecic, Panorama is part of the three-book World Series from Peter Owen Publishers and Istros Books. Each series brings to light the vibrant and innovative fiction produced in a featured country, offering readers the very best literature in translation.
