Slaka (fiction)
Slaka is the imaginary East European COMECON country featured in two books of the English novelist Malcolm Bradbury (1932–2000), ''Rates of Exchange'' (1983) and ''Why Come to Slaka?'' (1986). It is described by its leader Comrade-General I. Vulcani as "a nation proud of its socialistik emulations."〔Bradbury (1986), 9.〕 The first novel relates the misadventures of a visiting British academic, the second is a pastiche guide book to the country. Slaka is also the name of the country's capital; another of the country's major towns is Glit.〔Bradbury (1986), 67.〕 The country's language is known as Slakan.
Slaka was further explored in television, in two mini-series scripted by Bradbury, ''The Gravy Train'', and a sequel ''The Gravy Train Goes East''.〔http://www.theguardian.com/news/2000/nov/28/guardianobituaries.education〕
Critics have proposed Slaka to be a satire of Romania during the 1980s,〔http://www.bucharestlife.net/2010/04/27/great-books-in-english-about-romania-no-2-rates-of-exchange-by-malcolm-bradbury/#sthash.fo6DdZ3N.dpbs〕 or possibly Bulgaria.〔http://lidiavianu.scriptmania.com/malcolm_bradbury.htm〕
