Central European Classics

Great. Ivo Andric is all I've heard of (he won the Nobel).

A project management novel sounds irresistible. Off I go to meet my milestones!

I just read "Bosnian Chronicle", inspired by this thread. It's tremendous, although I found it very slow going. It's about Bosnia, but you only really see Bosnia around the edges of the main plot, which centres on the French (and to an extent Austrian) consulate in Travnik during the Napoleonic wars.

It doesn't sound very nice there, then.

So writing about what he knows then? Andric was an ambassador.

I've read so much about the moment of decline of the Austro-Hungarian empire that I haven't got round to actually reading that much about its heyday.

lol

May be of interest.
