Dubravka Ugrešić’s criticism of Croatian nationalism led to attacks against her and other feminist critics as “witches” and “traitors” by the Croatian media.

In our wake seagulls clatter like dented cans
strung to the exhaust pipe of a limousine –

“Her writing has an unnerving force: with a single sentence, she can reveal the darkness at the heart of a situation like a lens sliding silently, suddenly into focus.”
