Dimitrij Grčar's four novels explore the tension between silence and survival, courage and complicity, fact and fiction.
Dimitrij Grčar is a Slovenian novelist whose work resurrects untold truths from the 20th century — through the lives of fictional women whose voices echo far beyond the margins of history.
“Some books give you stories. These give you lives.”

THE AUTHOR
WHO AM I?
"It is a salutary discipline to get up every morning and get to work on a manuscript with fair hopes to see it finished and published, and the fate which awaits it. One always thinks of the chances that any new book will make its way among a multitude of others. Every author knows what pains he had and what experiences he endured and what heartache he suffered.
I have written and published four novels which I am introducing on this site. Much thought had gone into their composition; they had been carefully written. I seek my reward in the pleasure of my work and in the release from the burden of praise or censure, failure or success.
Writing historical fiction is a special challenge. It is time and energy consuming and takes a lot of knowledge. My aim in writing these types of books is to educate, divert and enchant. A particular history can be a fascinating tale. I believe I have succeeded in crafting good stories for my audience to enjoy.
