Melinda Nadj Abonji lives as an author and musician in Zurich. Fly Away, Pigeon is her second novel. Tess Lewis’s numerous translations from French and German include works by Peter Handke, Jean-Luc Benoziglio, and Pascale Brückner.
“This novel repays close reading. Its lyrical nostalgia, tempered
by Ildi’s tough, ironic eye, etches the fate of those displaced by
history, outsiders at home and abroad, while its seemingly artless
structure deftly renders this young woman’s struggle for
self-discovery amid disparate cultures and fragmented
histories.”
*World Literature Today*
“There is much to say about Fly Away, Pigeon besides that it is a
narrative of immigration. It is a novel about family and memory,
about young love and the history of post-1945 Yugoslavia, a novel
written in lyrical, experimental prose.”
