Agata Tomažič (1977) graduated in French at the Faculty of Arts and journalism at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana. She first became known for her articles in Slovenia’s largest daily newspaper Delo and through her translations of fiction and non-fiction from English and French. She ventured onto the literary scene with her well-received short story collection Česar ne moreš povedati frizerki (Things You Can't Tell Your Hairdresser) (Goga, 2015), and a year later with the literary travelogue Zakaj potujete v take dežele? (Why Travel to Such Places?) (Cankarjeva založba, 2016). Her debut novel was entitled Tik pod nebom (Right Under the Sky) (Goga, 2017) and was followed by another collection of short stories Nož v ustih (Knife in the Mouth) (Goga, 2020). Her latest novel, Čmrljev žleb (Bumblebee Gully) (Goga, 2022), is an eerie yet funny crime story set in a family hotel in an idyllic alpine village. She currently works at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and keeps in touch with her readers as an avid Twitterer.
