This is the first Robert Perisic’s novels translated into English and an unforgettable introduction to a vibrant voice from Croatia. Set in Zagreb during 2003, Our Man in Iraq https://www.amazon.com/Our-Man-Iraq-Robert-Perisic/dp/1908236043 follows a journalist, who is besieged by his rural relatives with requests for work. Succumbing to his mother’s nagging, he arranges for his cousin Boris to cover the ongoing U.S invasion of Iraq, despite his lasting shell shock from the Croatian War of Independence. Toni is forced to keep Boris’s disappearance from his family and his newspaper, while negotiating his own romantic, cultural and professional hurdles in a nation, that is awkwardly progressing from socialism to global capitalism.
