At the request of one of our parishioners, we are sharing with you the following information as a public service announcement +++ На молбу једне наше парохијанке, делимо са вама следеће информације:

We are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive literary event featuring Muharem Bazdulj, one of the most compelling voices from the former Yugoslavia.

Often compared to Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić, Bazdulj joins us in Washington, DC, to discuss his latest novel, “A Tin Coffin for Zaimović Zejna.” This conversation will delve into the intersection of identity and history, offering a rare modern lens on the complex “Balkan soul” and the enduring power of storytelling.
