About this ebook
The protagonist in Dogs and Others is the first openly lesbian character in modern Serbian literature, but she is also so much more than that, as she encapsulates the zeitgeist of her generation. Coming of age in 1970s Belgrade, then the capital city of thriving, socialist Yugoslavia, we follow Lida and the bohemian life she leads, made more complicated by the trials and tribulations of her eccentric family. The whole novel breathes with a raw sensibility so aptly captured in the voice of the heroine — a striking, rebellious, overtly feminist and somewhat neurotic young woman.
Biljana Jovanović
Biljana Jovanović (1953-1996) was a Serbian intellectual who wrote in almost all major genres; she published poetry, three novels, four plays, and a number of nonfiction pieces, mostly connected to her time in the anti-Milošević opposition of the 1990s. After studying philosophy at the University of Belgrade, Jovanović was an early and active member of a number of important human rights groups in Yugoslavia, beginning in 1982. Jovanović died in Ljubljana at the frighteningly young age of 43. Widely known among intellectuals and activists for her feminist and anti-war work, she was also a talented and courageous writer of fiction and drama.
