Sofija Stefanovic: Miss Ex-Yugoslavia

From writer and storyteller Sofija Stefanovic comes a humorous and candid memoir about duality and not fitting in anywhere, in as many ways as you can imagine. Born in socialist Yugoslavia and partially raised in the much less politically turbulent Australia, Sofija has lived a liminal existence, stuck between two countries that don’t quite embrace her in full. Speckled with tales of youthful rebellion, totalitarian politics, and warlords, Miss Ex-Yugoslavia paints a vivid picture of the love-hate relationship Sofija has with her native culture, and the constant state of being caught in the middle.

Join us in the Rare Book Room as Sofija shares her story with National Book Award finalist Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko!
