The Reception of Canadian Writing in Croatia

This article will focus on the Croatian reception of what can be provisionally termed as ‘quality’ Canadian writing – specifically, Canadian authors whose full-length works of fiction (CanLit) and non-fiction have been translated into Croatian and published since 1990 and have garnered relevant audiences and received critical attention. We investigate how Canadian writing is perceived by the Croatian audiences and their critical reception, the various cultural and publishing circumstances of their publication and translation, reasons for the selection of particular authors and works, occurrence of potential trends or preferences, and how these can be understood and interpreted compared to the publishing trends of Canadian writing in other Central European countries. Our conclusions will be informed by investigation of critical and general reviews, texts accompanying anthologies, essays, special issues, guest readings and lectures by Canadian authors, as well as interviews with publishers and/or translators.
