Paperback. "A very remarkable book. It has been a long time since I've wanted to proselytize about a new book as much as I do about Ivana Sajko's Every Time We Say Goodbye . . . It's formally and narratively thrilling, a very slim novel that conveys a whole pressurized life. The translation, by Mima Simic, is extraordinary."--Garth Greenwell, author of Small RainA soliloquy of self-examination, upheaval, loss, hope, disillusionment, ambition and failure--Ivana Sajko paints a portrait of an intellectual at a crossroads.A man on a train, propelled from a small town on the south-eastern coast of Europe to Berlin. As the wheels turn, his mind feverishly clacks along, tracing his own past--and that of Europe--to a moment of violence he must flee, moving him further and farther away from the one person he loves.Shipwrecks and border pushbacks; epidemics and industrial ruins; a family separated by economic necessity; a brother lost to crime; love and fear and memories of happier times in Berlin--yet through it all runs a silver thread of hope spun by a far-off friend. Every Time We Say Goodbye is an extended soliloquy of self-examination, upheaval, loss, hope, disillusionment, ambition, and failure, and is a profoundly stark and furious novel. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

A soliloquy of self-examination, upheaval, loss, hope, disillusionment, ambition and failure--Ivana Sajko paints a portrait of an intellectual at a crossroads.
Every Time We Say Goodbye is a novel about departures, about childhood, about the end of love and about the lost idea of escaping to a better place. Each chapter is one long sentence that moves from the past to the present, from the skin of a frightened boy to the suit of an adult man, from one end of Europe to the other, following the fate of a man who travels from a coastal town on the Adriatic to Berlin in order to start again.
The reader joins the narrator on his journey, both on the train and in his mind--from disjointed memories triggered by his departure from home, through attempts to put his relationships and experiences in some kind of order to find meaning in them and perhaps assign blame, to confronting his most painful memories--finally arriving with him at his destination with a sense of clarity and the possibility of a new beginning. Ivana Sajko paints a portrait of an intellectual at a crossroads with stylistic care and precision.
