In this engrossing and timely book, Tony White explores both South Eastern Europe itself, and the Western European fascination with `the Balkans`. Following in the footsteps of Rebecca West in addition to other key contemporary writers and commentators, White paints vivid and revealing pictures of the cultural lives and landscapes in this fascinating region; drawing on the views and ideas he finds there, and extensive interviews with politicians, writers and artists. The Balkans are often unjustly depicted as a barbarous bridge between Europe and Asia, a territory which just cannot help itself. Even sympathetic Western European writers have often `taken sides` in the way they`ve depicted this astonishing part of the world. White has gone in search of humour and humanity, as well as the historical background to these common misconceptions - though all the while he`s conscious that he may well be just another fool in the Balkans!

Tony White’s latest novel The Fountain in the Forest is published by Faber and Faber. He is the author of five previous novels including Foxy-T and Shackleton’s Man Goes South, and the non-fiction title Another Fool in the Balkans, as well as numerous short stories published in journals, exhibition catalogues, and anthologies. White was creative entrepreneur in residence in the French department of King’s College London, and has been writer in residence at London’s Science Museum and the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies. He recently collaborated with artists Blast Theory on the libraries live-streaming project A Place Free of Judgement, and from 2010–2018 chaired the board of London’s award-winning arts radio station Resonance 104.4fm.
