The Book of Visits

Hard to categorize, impossible to forget, Dinko Telecan’ s The Book of Visits engages with the world apace with the comings and goings of nature, those we love, and those we will never know. In the smallest of details— from the blooming of flowers to the angles of buildings and fleeting glances between two people— Telecan’ s work illuminates the universal elements of existence in fresh and unforgettable ways. Along with the talent necessary to write such nuanced and powerful pieces, the author is also translating his work, which is remarkable in its own right; he joins such luminaries as Jhumpa Lahiri and Samuel Beckett.
