Jiri Kajane
Winter in Tirane: The Stories of Jiri Kajane (Kevin Phelan and Bill U’Ren)
Who is Jiri Kajane? Praised by Time Out Scotland as “the second greatest living Albanian writer” (after Ismail Kadare), Kajane was raised in Kruje, Albania. His satirical drama, Neser Perdite (Tomorrow, Every Day), received great acclaim in a singular 1981 performance before being banned by the Albanian Ministry of Culture. “The Jiri stories,” as they have come to be known, have appeared in many American literary journals.
