      The book explores the Serbian national movement of the 1980s and 1990s, emphasizing the role of cultural processes over purely political motivations. The author highlights the contributions of three key intellectuals—Dobrica Ćosić, Mića Popović, and Borislav Mihajlović Mihiz—who, disillusioned by communism, sought to redefine Serbian identity. By merging traditional cultural imagery with contemporary realities, they played a crucial role in shaping a new narrative for Serbia that transcended historical constraints and aimed to resonate with the nation's evolving identity.

      "Isn’t It Pretty To Think So?" is a contemporary, coming-of-age tale by first-time novelist Nick Miller.Set in Los Angeles, the novel follows Jake Reed, a world-weary recent college graduate struggling to find use for his liberal arts degree amidst a waning workforce. He eventually lands a job in real estate as a "Social Media Manager," a role that requires the mindless pursuit of likes, tweets, and hits.After a death in the family and a surprise inheritance, Jake quits his job and meanders through lonely hotel rooms, quiet beach towns, and then, in a dramatic shift, stations himself in West Hollywood where disillusioned twenty-somethings lose themselves in the madness of drugs and sex. It is here that the only proof of memories is found in filtered photographs posted online from the night before.Miller captures the angst, restlessness, and spirit of the Millennial Generation — a group mindlessly charging through the recession during a time when the line between existence in the physical and digital world is blurred. The novel provides a fascinating, grim, and often times humorous portrayal of the lifestyle that represents our contemporary youth.
