Overview
A remarkable and bracing collection of "classic anti-war writing" (Richard Flanagan) from Croatian writer Miljenko Jergovi_x0107_, whose piercing prose recalls Kurt Vonnegut and Aleksander Hemon
Miljenko Jergovi_x0107_'s remarkable debut collection of stories, Sarajevo Marlboro, earned him wide acclaim throughout Europe. In "melancholy, dreamlike" prose, the stories in Sarajevo Marlboro "recall Alan Lightman's Einstein's Dreams and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, but Jergovic's book is the strongest of the three" (Maud Newton). Croatian by birth, Jergovi_x0107_ spent his childhood in Sarajevo and chose to remain there throughout most of the war. These stories are distinctly of the material world, and they are shaped by Jergovi_x0107_'s deeply personal vision, subterranean humor, and a razor-sharp understanding of the fate of the city's young Muslims, Croats, and Serbs - the minute details of their interior lives in the foreground, the killing zone in the background.
