Dear Marina Abramovic
Dear Marina Abramovic,
My grandfather's name is Milosav Jajich.
We are one of only two families in the United States with the last name. I am told the
name means, egg seller and that there was a village called, Jajich (or some
derivation of) many years ago.
In 1998 just before the NATO bombing, I stayed in The Hotel Excelsior in Belgrade.
This was before the hotel got a facelift. At the time it was a decaying Soviet era treasure.
Every day we walked to Pioneer Park to eat hamburgers stained red with beet juice.
I remember the young people who spoke of freedom.
Chickens hanging in steamy windows.
January's chill.
What are your impressions of America?
I read today that Kayne West advised Kim Kardashion to dress like you.
She is the product of reality television and you are the daughter of revolution.
