"Ugresic: Look, I realize the terrain is very small. I mean, who cares about Croatia? Three or four million people, that’s all. But for me, it was so interesting, because I saw how you can train human beings to think differently within a year: they all change. It is a chemical reaction, as if you dipped people into some kind of acid and pulled them out again."
(((I happen to be reading a Dubravka Ugresic novel on my way to Amsterdam, the city where, last thing I heard, Dubravka Ugresic was hanging her hat. Hej Dubravka: if you happen to be ego-surfing the web, send me email: [email protected].)))
