"Hemon arranges words like gems in a necklace....Writing with steely control and an antic eye, Hemon has assembled another extraordinary work." (starred review)
Publishers Weekly, 02/02/2009
Review:"Possessed of a phenomenal gift for translating feelings into concrete imagery in masterfully structure tales that end in stunning crescendos, Hemon infuses everything...with barbed insights into our instinct for aggression, longing for connection, and unquenchable need to tell our stories.... [He] is a world-class writer of seismic depth, riptide humor, wine-dark language, and unflinching candor." (starred review)

Love and Obstacles (Hardback) (ISBN: 9781594488641) Hemon, Aleksandar Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Riverhead Books, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 208 x 137 mm. Brand New Book. A new book of linked stories by the author of the National Book Award finalist "The Lazarus Project." Aleksandar Hemon earned his reputation- and his MacArthur "genius grant"-for his short stories, and he returns to the form with a powerful collection of linked stories that stands with "The Lazarus Project" as the best work of his celebrated career. A few of the stories have never been published before; the others have appeared in "The New Yorker," and several of those have also been included in "The Best American Short Stories." All are infused with the dazzling, astonishingly creative prose and the remarkable, haunting autobiographical elements that have distinguished Hemon as one of the most original and illustrious voices of our time. What links the stories in "Love and Obstacles" is the narrator, a young man who-like Hemon himself-was raised in Yugoslavia and immigrated to the United States. The stories of "Love and Obstacles" are about that coming of age and the complications-the obstacles-of growing up in a Communist but cosmopolitan country, and the disintegration of that country and the consequent uprooting and move to America in young adulthood. But because it's Aleksandar Hemon, the stories extend far beyond the immigrant experience; each one is punctuated with unexpected humor and spins out in fabulist, exhilarating directions, ultimately building to an insightful, often heartbreaking conclusion. Woven together, these stories comprise a book that is, genuinely, as cohesive and powerful as any fiction- achingly human, charming, and inviting.
