  Call Me Esteban

  With unapologetic vividness, Lejla Kalamujić depicts pre- and post-war Sarajevo by charting a daughter coping with losing her mother, but discovering herself. From imagined conversations with Franz Kafka to cozy apartments, psychiatric wards, and cemeteries, Call Me Esteban is a piercing meditation on a woman grasping at memories in the name of claiming her identity. 
  “Stylish and brisk, these stories refuse to wallow in tragedy, becoming instead a convincing testament to the consolations of art.” —Publishers Weekly starred review 
  "There’s an immediacy to Lejla Kalamujić’s writing in Call Me Esteban, a haunting portrayal of what it means to live in a society that’s been fragmenting for the vast majority of one’s life. The staccato prose and rapid-fire sentences on display help to further those ideas, as well as giving a sense of the narrator’s anxiety—an experience that takes this book even further into a haunting space." — Tobias Carroll, Words Without Borders 
  "Playful yet piercing, these linked stories weave queer identity with the bitter aftertaste of the Balkan wars... Kalamujić takes autofiction to the next level." —Hamilton Cain, Oprah Daily 
  Lejla Kalamujic is an award-winning queer writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
  Jennifer Zoble translates Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and Spanish language literature. She is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies program at NYU.

  When Randall Whealton, Earl of Plymouth, loses a bet to his friend the Duke of Northumberland, he pays the price: spend a month with him and Alan at Alan's family ranch in Wyoming. It's the last thing he wants to do, but pride and honor won't let him back down.
  Cattle wrangler Sawyer Kincaid works with livestock and horses at the Justice ranch. The job suits him—animals he understands, but people are a whole different ball game. And the stuffy Englishman Alan and George bring with them is among the worst of the lot: snooty, stuck-up… and hot as hell. A combination Sawyer is determined to ignore.
  Sawyer works hard, and he's good at his job, but Randall always thinks he knows better. Sawyer would love to kick his ass back across the pond… until an outing at the local watering hole when with hands from another ranch decide to show Randall who's boss. Ranch hands stand up for each other, and Sawyer finds himself defending Randall and later nursing his injuries. That buried attraction flares to life—but it could just as easily burn out once Randall's time in Wyoming is up.
