In this highly imaginative work, the author argues that much of what matters in Slovenia plays out on surfacesof people and things, systems and locationsrendering the complexity of expression external and legible, but rarely unique or original. Here likenesses are everywhere in bloom and powerfully deployed. Moving blithely from Slovenia's most famous thinkers to its most confounding artists, from grammatical categories of number to the particularities of history, The Likeness exploresalternative modes of self-expression as postsocialist Slovenia gains visibility on the world stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We encounter here a unique and provocative twist in the quest to depict Slovenia and the Slovenes. . . .
