The Lute and the Scars

The Lute and the Scars is a collection of stories by Yugoslav author Danilo Kiš.

First published posthumously in 1994 (Kiš died in 1989), the stories were translated into English by John K. Cox and published in 2012.

[1] Leo Robson, book critic for The Guardian, praised the translation and called the collection "a more or less perfect book".

[2] The stories in The Lute and the Scars were left out of the original collection that made up The Encyclopedia of the Dead (1983).
