    Wenn der König stirbt

    In einem Hotel in Zürich stirbt der König eines namenlosen kleinen Landes. Der Trubel der Trauerkundgebung erfasst die Deutsche Hanni Gretl und ihren somalischen Liebhaber Sulejman, die bald darauf von mehreren Leuten, darunter dem grimmigen Dragan, verfolgt werden. Doch statt in einer Schlägerei landen sie allesamt in einem Café, wo sie wild über den Balkan diskutieren und darüber, was der so alles mit Afrika zu tun hat. Auch der König mischt sich ein, teilt seine Erinnerungen an die Anfangszeiten der UNO und gibt außerdem Anekdoten von skurrilen Begegnungen mit Vladimir Nabokov und Jorge Luis Borges zum Besten. Wenn der König stirbt ist ein Vexierspiel voller unerwarteter Wendungen, kapriziöser Einfälle und doppelbödigem Humor. Mit diesem Roman hat der große Romancier David Albahari der Welt ein literarisches Vermächtnis voll unbändiger Fabulierlust hinterlassen.

    Words Are Something Else

    David Albahari is one of the most prominent prose writers to come out of the former Yugoslavia in the last twenty years. His short stories, which developed largely outside the canon of Serbian literature, have influenced a generation of Balkan writers. This collection gathers Albahari's best and most important stories, moving from an early preoccupation with the family and Central European culture to metafictional searches for the roots of his identity.
