Some Pleasant Daydream: The Stories of Jiri Kajanë: Volume 2

Continuing where the groundbreaking Winter in Tirana leaves off, SOME PLEASANT DAYDREAM features six stories by the enigmatic Albanian writer Jiri Kajanë. The collection follows the adventures of Albania's fictional Deputy Minister of Slogans and his best friend Leni as they attempt to carve out a niche for themselves in the ever-changing economy. By turns hilarious and poignant, imbued with moments of unexpected warmth, the stories examine what it means to navigate love and daily life amidst a culture of propaganda, where what one says and what one means can be two very different things.
