The stories in First fox offer an everyday world tinged with the dreamlike qualities of fairy tales. Radojkovich explores the complex dynamics of families with a blend of dry wit and startling imagery. Disappointments and consolations meet with fantastical moments, winding their way into the realm of possibility.

Industry Reviews

Simple, but wonderfully so, telling the reader all they need to know. Radojkovich's writing knows where embellishment is needed, and recognises when sparse language is effective.

Siobhan Denton, Sabotage Reviews


Indeed, it was the dreamlike qualities that resonated from every page, which made me want to read the next story as soon as I finished the last. Although some were extremely short, I took a moral lesson or even a feeling away from every single tale. The 46-page collection was packed with strange realities, warped fantasies and yet, I found, relatable characters.

Robyn Colclough, Cuckoo Review


In today's social and political climate, there is a focus everywhere one looks on outward portrayals and inward truths that Radojkovich explores with subtle skill and excellently well-conceived brevity. This coupled with a startlingly honest, warm and at times darkly humorous tone makes for exactly the type of fiction which is able to commentate and provoke thought on life in 2017.

Literature Works


As with any good short story, Radojkovich has taken great care in constructing each sentence and paragraph, saying no more than what is necessary to the narrative. Allowing the reader into just a snippet of the lives of these characters serves to add to the almost mythical tone to the stories, with the opportunity for the reader to elaborate in their own imagination what else is happening.
