A soliloquy of self-examination, upheaval, loss, hope, disillusionment, ambition and failure–Ivana Sajko paints a portrait of an intellectual at a crossroads.
A man on a train, propelled from a small town on the south-eastern coast of Europe to Berlin. As the wheels turn, his mind feverishly clacks along, tracing his own past–and that of Europe–to a moment of violence he must flee, moving him further and farther away from the one person he loves.
Shipwrecks and border pushbacks; epidemics and industrial ruins; a family separated by economic necessity; a brother lost to crime; love and fear and memories of happier times in Berlin–yet through it all runs a silver thread of hope spun by a far-off friend. Every Time We Say Goodbye is an extended soliloquy of self-examination, upheaval, loss, hope, disillusionment, ambition, and failure, and is a profoundly stark and furious novel.
