Sarajevo Marlboro Miljenko Jergovic 1. izdevums

Miljenko Jergovic?s remarkable début collection of stories, Sarajevo Marlboro ? winner of the Erich Maria Remarque Peace Prize ? earned him wide acclaim throughout Europe. Croatian by birth, Jergovic ? spent his childhood in Sarajevo and chose to remain there throughout most of the war. 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.
