About this listen

Dada’s life is at a standstill in Zagreb. When her sister calls her back home to help with their aging mother, she doesn’t hesitate to leave the city behind. She arrives to find her mother hoarding pills, her sister chain-smoking, her long-dead father’s shoes still lined up on the steps, and the cowboy posters of her deceased brother Daniel still on the walls.

Farewell, Cowboy explores a beautiful Mediterranean town's darkest alleys: the bars where secrets are bought, the rooms where bodies are sold, and the streets, plains, and houses where blood is shed. By the end of the long summer, the lies, lust, feuds, and frustration will reach a violent and hallucinatory climax.

Olja Savičević Ivančević's is one of the best Croatian contemporary authors. Her writing has been translated into 13 languages and published in 15 countries across Europe and in the USA. For her works, Olja received a number of coveted national, regional and international awards. Farewell, Cowboy was awarded Prix du premiere Award for the best debut novel translated in French (2020), the Tportal Best Croatian Novel Prize (2011) and the Jure Kaštelan Award.

Publication of this audiobook was cofunded by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia.

Critic reviews

"Dazzling, funny and deadly serious, this perfectly pitched novel about the legacy of the Yugoslav war heralds the arrival of an exciting new European voice." - The Guardian

"In Dada’s wild amalgam of quest story, social satire, and comic shtick (plus a surreal film-shoot scene featuring cowboys), you won’t catch Savičević offering tidy diagnoses. You won’t mind, thanks to prose that glints like the sea in the distance." — Ann Hulbert, The Atlantic
