| Summary: | A memoir rich in content: entertaining, engaging portraits, stories, revelations and reflections against the backdrop of the postwar, socialist Yugoslavia. The human context binds it all into a compelling read. The stories, set in the landscape of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, the Adriatic Coast and the culture that spawned from them. Non-chronologically, the narrative runs from childhood to adulthood, studies in Zagreb and Germany, German culture, travels, encounters in Europe and perspective on life, emigrating to the United states and San Francisco in 1970. "Diving" into the last wave of the hippie-culture and emerging in the Silicon Valley era. Inspiring metamorphosis through arts media, from a "necessity, invention" and a drive toward a unique expression. |
