Fragma is the debut collection of short fiction by award-winning Slovenian writer Mojca Kumerdej. Kumerdej's writing is witty, lucid, darkly funny—a style that leads us to sympathize with, even as we loathe, characters who are obsessed with their luxury cars and jealous of their own daughters. Her stories of sadism, masochism, codependence, and violence in multiple forms introduce us to an utterly unique voice, valuable for what it tells us about contemporary Slovenia, but even more for what it can tell us about ourselves.
Mojca Kumerdej is a Slovenian writer. The author of four books of fiction, including the award-winning novel The Harvest of Chronos, Kumerdej is also an acclaimed dramaturgist and cultural critic for the Slovenian national newspaper Delo. Rawley Grau has translated numerous works from Slovenian. In 2016, he was awarded the AATSEEL Prize for his translation of A Science Not for the Earth by the Russian poet Yevgeny Baratynsky. His translation of Mojca Kumerdej's The Harvest of Chronos appeared in 2017. He teaches translation at the University of Primorska in Koper.
