“Of course you know Tito”
I remember Susan Sontag said during an interview that I went to see her at in San Francisco that if you are not aware of what is going on in Sarajevo then you are not aware of anything. Being immersed in eel doesn’t just mean learning how to love to be in a spa, eat delicious fresh food, or relaxing, it means understanding that Tito’s hometown became a place where people made a pilgramage to, where while we were going through the posh 90’s people in Yugoslavia were going through the renting and angony of a civil war that even today has tainted their psyche. And no, up until recently I couldn’t have located Zagreb on a map or known that Budapest was three and a half hour drive through the cornfields much less that the coast of Croatia is the most intoxicating landscape I’ve ever experienced.
