Nikola Tesla – ein Südslawe unter Strom. Ein Gespräch mit Alida Bremer
Nikola Tesla – A Live Wire from Southeast Europe. A Conversation with Alida Bremer

Summary/Abstract: Alida Bremer’s new novel “Tesla, or The Completion of the Circles” (2023) tells us the migra-tion biography of a young Dalmatian traveling from Triest to New York in 1905. His Panslavic narratives and aspirations center on the excentric and genius inventor Nikola Tesla whom he meets in New York. The figure of Tesla leads Christian Voß and Alida Bremer to a broader discussion on literature in the fragmented post-Yugoslav region. Can literature contribute to intraregional reconciliation and share the traumas of victims and perpetrators? Is it able to perform like a second “Adriatic League” (as the multinational ABA basketball league in Former Yugoslavia)?
