Farewell, Cowboy (Unabridged‪)‬

Dada’s life is at a standstill in Zagreb. When her sister calls her back home to help with their aging mother, she doesn’t hesitate to leave the city behind. She arrives to find her mother hoarding pills, her sister chain-smoking, her long-dead father’s shoes still lined up on the steps, and the cowboy posters of her deceased brother Daniel still on the walls. 

Farewell, Cowboy explores a beautiful Mediterranean town's darkest alleys: the bars where secrets are bought, the rooms where bodies are sold, and the streets, plains, and houses where blood is shed. By the end of the long summer, the lies, lust, feuds, and frustration will reach a violent and hallucinatory climax.
