So, don't forget to mention our name!! Metropolis has suggested a few titles by
authors from South East Europe for your reading pleasure:

The Tiger's Wife is Tea
Obreht's debut novel and National Book award finalist as well as New York Times
bestseller. It weaves together family legend, loss and love, and the recent
troubled past. Winner of 2011 Orange Prize for fiction, The Tiger's Wife
is a brilliant and beautifully written first novel.

Peasants Under Siege by Gail
Kligman and Katherine Verdery. In 1949 Romania's fledgling communist regime
unleashed a radical and brutal campaign to collectivize agriculture in this
largely agrarian country, following the Soviet model. Peasants under Siege
provides the first comprehensive look at the far-reaching social engineering
process that ensued.

One of the favorite authors at Metropolis Books is Orhan
Pamuk: The Museum of Innocence is a dark
and moody novel with a message about the human condition. Truly one of Orhan
Pamuk's best novels about the tumultuous 1970's in Istanbul.

Other notable authors from South East Europe are also
available at the Metropolis Books online store. Website: http://www.metropolisbooksla.com/
