She was a voice of-and for-our times. -- Times Literary Supplement Fragmented but not disjointed, Beckettian as well as Bernhardian, Doppelganger is complex, dark and funny: a strange gem. -- Claire Messud - Guardian Doppelganger, a boldly virtuosic novel in two parts, mirroring the realities of Croatia and Serbia, sees Drndic delighting in Beckettian high art. More than any of Drndic's wonderful collage, archival, semi-autobiographical narratives thus far translated, it is the brief, if immense, Doppelganger that may surprise even her established readers. -- Financial Times
