- Summary:
- From the story of Steffie Cvek to The Kharms Case, the pieces in Dubravka Ugresics collection Lend Me Your Character are always smart and endlessly entertaining. The former story paints a picture of a harassed and vulnerable typist whose life is shaped entirely by cliches. She searches endlessly for an elusive romantic love in a narrative punctuated by threadbare advice from womens magazines and constructed like a sewing pattern. The latter story is one of Ugresics funniest and is about the strained relationship between a persistent translator and an unresponsive publisher.
