Product Description

Product Description

David Albahari is one of the most prominent writers to emerge from the former Yugoslavia in the last twenty years. His serious, understated explorations of the self have influenced many writers of his native land's younger generation. The narrator of Bait has just exiled himself to Canada after the collapse of Yugoslavia and the death of his mother. As he listens to a series of audio tapes recorded by his mother years before, the narrator ponders her life and their relationship while simultaneously trying to come to terms with a new life of his own - one of exile and the confusion of a new language and culture. Bait is an exquisitely crafted novel that exhibits the wit and raw honesty Albahari's readers have long admired.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new departure for contemporary literature, 2 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This book shows that excessive originality yields very poor results. Albahari believes in simplicity. There has never been a novel written with such a simple technique: the narrators simply tells us what ought to be described and thus describes it. This reminds us that literature is above all a nascent, never finished project. The end result is heart-breaking. Better than many other masters of the novel.
