Blatnik started his artistic career as a bass player in a punk band. He obtained an MA in American literature. For many years he was a freelance artist writing commercials and shooting videos, and traveling extensively. Now he works as editor with one of the major Slovenian publishing houses. He has written two novels, two collections of essays on the relationship between mass and elite culture, and four collections of short stories, some of which rank as the peak achievements of this genre in the Slovenian language. He has won numerous awards including the Zlata ptica, the Župančič Award and the Prešeren Fund Prize. Blatnik's short stories feature urban nomads losing their way in the labyrinths of pop culture and complex relationships. He does not play music anymore, but he still travels a great deal - still living on a shoestring.

Aleš Debeljak has published eight books of essays and six collections of poetry. For his work he has won a number of Slovenian, former Yugoslav and international awards. Debeljak's critical reflection on the disintegration of Yugoslavia – Somrak idolov (Twilight of the Idols) – has been translated into more than twelve languages. In 2000 he published the volume of poetry Nedokončane hvalnice (Unfinished panegyrics). Debeljak takes special interest in the paradoxes of European integration, and draws inspiration primarily from American theoretical writing and from his family life in Ljubljana. In Cafe Europa, the nomadic community of Eastern European writers, he feels just as home as among the noise of little children or the trembling beauty of Prekmurian folk poetry.
