ABOUT
THE BOOK

Eva Petric’s composite love novel: They All Ate Sushi has the anatomy of a sushi, being both literarily and metaphorically composed of various ingredients. Just as the ingredients of a sushi are rolled up, the main heroes of this novel are also rolled up in their own separate love stories. When unrolled they form an even bigger final sushi- one three-layered story with a wrapper: that of Sara and Juan Cruz, Jan and Lovro, Diana and Juan, with Laura and the anonymous man wrapping them all up. Despite the three sushi’s having different ingredients- these are expressed in the novel as differing circumstances of the heroes- the end taste offered is the same. All are cursed by one and the same – an expiration date.
