A conversation about literature, history, and feminist writing

Structured as a conversation between Dubravka Ugresic and literary critic Merima Omeragic, the book takes up subjects including women and the male perspective, self-harm, and disappearance. Its scope extends from these topics into a survey of the literary world over the past century, with particular attention to violence and upheaval in Yugoslavia, Ugresic’s birth country. The exchange also considers possible directions for feminist writing, bringing together literary criticism, cultural questions, and historical reflection in a compact volume of 120 pages.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

Winner of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature


As with the rest of her literary career, Dubravka Ugresic's final work, A Muzzle for Witches, is uncategorizable. On its surface, the book is a conversation with the literary critic Merima Omeragic, covering topics such as "Women and the Male Perspective," "The Culture of (Self)Harm," and "The Melancholy of Vanishing."

 

But the book is more than a simple interview: It's a roadmap of the literary world, exploring the past century and all of its violence and turmoil--especially in Yugoslavia, Ugresic's birth country--and providing a direction for the future of feminist writing.

 

One of the greatest thinkers of the past hundred years, Ugresic was one-of-a-kind, who novels and literary essays pushed the bounds of form and content, and A Muzzle for Witches offers the chance to see her at her most raw, and most playful.
