| Inhaltsangabe | "When I first moved from New York City to Ljubljana in 1993, I felt as if I had been flung out from the absolute center of the universe – a Babylon of immense culture and riches and sin, teeming with peoples from all over the world, bubbling over with their multiple languages and cuisines – into a reverse Babylon, a flat, monochromatic, conservative backwater, so small that God might not even notice it if its inhabitants were building a daring tower that threatened to penetrate the heavens. […] And yet over time I discovered in the relative marginality and uniformity of Slovenia and its capital of Ljubljana, a different kind of groove and spice hiding just beneath the surface." |
