Jeronim, Museu National de Arte Antiga, LisabonContemporary Croatian literaturefifty titles for fifty second Frankfurt BookfairAlthough Croatian literature cannotdepend upon wide reception and significantcommercial success outside its ownlanguage-frame, we believe that Croatianauthors, especially younger ones,fit into the broader European and globalcontext of book writing and publishing.The major part of this issue containsessays, critics and interviews (some ofthem published previously and editedfor this purpose) which present Croatianauthors by giving our readersinsight into recent literary production.Not only Croatian authors were takeninto account, but also authors whosebooks were first published by Croatianpublishers. This selection is not to beunderstood as an anthology of recentCroatian literature, but as a survey ofcriticism published during the last twoyears in Zarez.2000.
