  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.

  After manifesting thorned magic and nearly destroying his hometown, Kieren Belltower is summoned to join the Magic Service—an institution in charge of magical affairs—and start an apprenticeship with a high-ranking magician. But instead of the mage assigned to teach him, Kieren is greeted by his haughty and annoyingly handsome senior apprentice Esten, who clearly has more important things to do than chaperone some newbie. 
  Their teacher has disappeared on a secret assignment, leaving Esten no instructions other than a warning not to trust a soul. But as Kieren's unruly magic proves too dangerous to leave unattended, Esten has no choice but to involve him in the matter. Together they retrace their teacher's last known mission—an investigation into the illegal use of magic and its connection to the devastating phenomenon known as the sludge, which has plagued the country for weeks. 
  But as Kieren and Esten grow closer, they uncover a plot that thrusts their lives into danger and threatens to shatter everything they know about magic and the world they were born into. 
  "Packed with adventure, swoony romance, and of course, magic. This book will enchant you!" –– Adriana Mather, NYT Bestselling author of How to Hang a Witch series.
