In this interview, I chat with Lidija Hilje about ⁠⁠⁠Slanting Towards the Sea⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, writing about present day Croatia, her father's health and how it inspired this story, writing in her second language and why she chose to write the book in English, her title and cover, and much more.

Lidija's recommended reads are:

  1. The Anthropologists by Aysegul Savas
  2. We Were the Universe by Kimberly King Parsons
  3. Joanna's Room by James Baldwin
