WRITING CROATIA Writing Croatia is for readers in the UK who would like to read some good writing from Croatia or want to know more about the country. It is not always easy to find out what is going on in Croatia. Media coverage in the UK is limited and much that is exciting in Croatia goes unnoticed. The British-‐‑Croatian Society attempts to address this. Writing Croatia is a follow-‐‑up to Mapping Croatia that we published in 2013 as a guide to Croatian works of art in UK museums and galleries (copies are available by emailing [email protected]). Writing Croatia is not a definitive list. It includes out of print books that may be available from second hand booksellers. Further information about each book can be found on booksellers’ websites. If you have suggestions for additions, or other comments, please email us at [email protected].
