Debutant collections of the story “Manufaktura G” Adrijana Sarajlija (Tardis, 2010) pointed out to us the top author of the fantasy to whom we should pay attention. A period marked by the novel “The Vampire Mirror” (samizdat, 2012, and the reissue of the Magic Book, 2013) followed well, even in the competition of complete annual production of Serbia, and earned the view of the jury of the NIN Award on the freshness of the theme and expression.
The collection “Naked Voices” (Everest Media, 2017) combines the creative efforts of previous years, split by the anthologies from the country and the region. It contains fifteen short stories from releases largely unavailable in domestic bookshops, and the collection is the right way to continue enjoying challenging speculative prose. The quality indicator is definitely the decision of the editor of Boban Knezevic to publish the book in the Fantastic Library edition, where we could read the best of Serbian fantasy.
“Sarajlija readily and skillfully rolls into the unknown, and with his invention and freshness reveals the curious readers by offering them a true literary enjoyment – unusual, beyond the standards of the genre, inspired, witty and twisting.” (Ilija Bakić)
