The Question of Bruno - Softcover
'You will go a long way to find anything better than this' - Edward Docx. 'There is simply more history and more drama in Hemon's stories than in a shelf and a half of the usual dayglo Anglo-American entertainment' - "Guardian". "The Question of Bruno" is an elegy for the vanished Yugoslavia and a journey through the intertwined history of a family and a nation, written in prose of unparalleled daring, invention and wit. 'Amazing. The personal fall-out of political failure has never been so searing' - "Time Out". 'Like Nabokov, Hemon writes with the startling peeled vision of the outsider, weighing words as if for the first time; he shares with Kundera an ability to find grace and humour in the bleakest of circumstances' - "Observer". 'A storyteller, funny and sad in equal measure, and always entertaining' - "Scotland on Sunday".
