Leonard Cohen and Alice Munro in Croatia

The first translations of several short stories by Alice Munro were published in Croatia in the 1990s but it was only after 2011 that her actual books were translated. Receipt of the Nobel Prize in Literature further boosted the author’s already substantial reputation in Croatia.. Munro's success has run parallel to that of the short story in general in contemporary Croatian literature. Leonard Cohen, on the other hand, has been known to the audience in Croatia since the late 1960s primarily for his music, but more recently also for his literary texts, most of which, beginning in the 1980s, have been translated into Croatian. By analyzing a diverse bibliography of mostly literary reviews and critical writings on Cohen and Munro in the Croatian media from the early 1990s, this article explores the arguments justifying the translation of their texts into Croatian. The approach employed is descriptive, giving a diachronic overview of their critical reception in Croatia.
