On his tour to promote the English translation of his prize-winning historical novel, Aleksandar Gatalica will talk with Bob Garfield and sign copies of The Great War. Come and find out more about this sweeping saga of World War I and its legacy in Europe and the Balkans. “The gallery of real and fictional personages is large, about seventy at all, from many countries and backgrounds. Emperors, generals, renowned scientist, artist and journalists mingle with infantrymen, shopkeepers and prostitutes, all moving, living and dying in a complex choreography. The narrative sweeps along; its sheer self-assurance is endearing.” by Mark Thompson, The Times Literary Supplement, March 13, 2015
