A dazzling storyteller, he brings a profoundly human, razor-sharp understanding of the fate of the city’s young Muslims, Croats, and Serbs with a subterranean humor and profoundly personal vision. Their offbeat lives and daily dramas in the foreground, the killing zone in the background.

Nobody knows who killed Rade and Jela. They just disappeared one day without fuss or explanation. Perhaps it’s wrong to say what I am going to say, but I only remember two things about poor Rade – his apple jam and the remarkable fact that he never once, not even in the dead of night, reached out of his window to steal an apple.

Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. A remarkable and bracing collection of classic anti-war writing (Richard Flanagan) from Croatian writer Miljenko Jergovic, whose piercing prose recalls Kurt Vonnegut and Aleksander HemonMiljenko Jergovics remarkable début 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 Jergovics book is the strongest of the three (Maud Newton). Croatian by birth, Jergovic 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 Jergovics deeply personal vision, subterranean humor, and a razor-sharp understanding of the fate of the citys young Muslims, Croats, and Serbs - the minute details of their interior lives in the foreground, the killing zone in the background.
