My Cat Yugoslavia by Pajtim Statovci
3.0
"You can give in to anger, you can get over it or let it take over your life, but loathing works in a different way. It burrows down under nails, and even if you bit your fingers off, it won't go away."
I enjoyed My Cat Yugoslavia, though I'm not sure I could say why. The prose is beautiful and easy to follow, which is always nice. But the story is like a pot of water that's always gently boiling; it never reaches an exciting climax, opting instead for a slow, understated finish that's neither flashy nor unexpected, but ultimately pretty satisfying.
