Here is a bookmark accompanying the publication of the Serbian language soft-bound edition of The Five Wonders of the Danube.

Here is the cover of the Italian edition of Seven Touches of Music (Sette Note Musicali). The mosaic-novel is scheduled to appear in October, as the third TEA edition of Zoran Zivkovic’s books, after The Last Book (L’Ultimo Libro, 2010) and The Library (Sei Biblioteche, 2011).

After the initial print-run of 10,000 copies of the Italian edition of The Last Book— published by TEA in January 2010—was sold out in just over a month, three additional print-runs followed in March, May and September. Now, in April 2011, there is the fourth additional print-run. L’Ultimo Libro continues to be one of TEA’s bestselling titles…

Zoran Zivkovic’s new novel, The Five Wonders of the Danube, is just published by the Belgrade based “Zavod” as a deluxe boxed five volume set in five languages: Serbian, German, Slovakian, Hungarian and English. A paperback Serbian language edition will follow shortly.

An excellent review by Dan Hartland of The Ghostwriter appeared at Strange Horizon on March 2nd.

A beautiful review of my short novel The Teashop just appeared in the February 2011 issue of the prestigious Japanese monthly magazine “Hito“.

My Japanese publisher, Mr. Edward Lipsett, was kind enough to provide a summary in English:

“The reviewer says that reading a book is like a journey; it transports you to another land, or another time past or future. She says this book will take a reader on an exquisite journey, thanks to the stories of master Eastern European fantastika author Zoran Zivkovic.  She mentions that Teashop mixes fantasy and reality, and has a very powerful ending, also cites the other two stories as being excellent, and ends by saying that this is a valuable first book publication in Japan by a leading author. She recommends it highly.”
