Description

Adulterers, cheats, hypocrites, bad seeds—in My Husband, Rumena Buarovska turns her wry and razor-sharp gaze on men, and on the lives of the women who suffer them.

In these eleven devastatingly precise and psychologically unsettling stories, we follow the female protagonists' thwarted attempts at intimacy, ranging from pretense, to denial, to violent and ultimately self-destructive acts. This smart, funny, provocative collection demonstrates the profound skills that have made Rumena Buarovska one of the finest contemporary writers of short fiction in Macedonia.

This story collection, Mojot Ma in Croatian (My Husband in English), won the Edo Budia Award for Best Short Story Collection.
