Flesh of Her Flesh

Original edition:

Tijelo njenog tijela

Jutarnji list, Zagreb, 2006

In 2004 Slavenka Drakulić had a successful kidney transplant in the USA. The kidney came not from a deceased person or a relative, but an anonymous living donor. It is not very often that one finds oneself confronted with an act of such goodness. Why would a person decide to give a part of his or her body to a complete stranger without any reward? What kind of person is capable of bestowing a gift of life on a fellow human being? Are they “angels” or ordinary people like the rest of us? Some of their stories are in this book.
