The Price of Heaven

Evald Flisar remains Slovenia’s bestselling author of novels and short stories, and internationally performed playwright today. The Price of Heaven is a fresh addition to the travel literature of the subcontinent. Flisar sees the Indian subcontinent through native eyes. The stories fill you not only with relief and gratitude but also with a feeling that strikes you as "something like pure love." Flisar neither romanticizes nor debunks. Instead, he displays the irremediable otherness, and at the same time the common frailties, of the places and people he describes. - Robert Murray Davis in World Literature Today
