Summary/Abstract: In 1983 I spent the month of August in bed with a bad case of sciatica. What you need is more action, said my friend Grga over a cup of coffee. In September of the same year I went to Iowa City as a guest of the International Writers Workshop. Kurt Vonnegut mentions the Workshop in his Slaughterhouse Five, which fact I learned the following summer on the island of Pag, when I found the novel in the dusty bedside table of my rented room. There were other writers at the Workshop, writers from all parts of the world, but mostly the Third. We lived together on the eighth floor of Mayflower Hall.
