Named one of the 25 Books That Inspired the World (1989-2014) by World Literature Today Miljenko Jergovic's Sarajevo Marlboro relies on minute details, such as a dead cactus and a grandmother's ring, to distinguish individuals' numbed reactions to the devastation of the Bosnian war. There's a melancholy, dreamlike sameness to Jergovic's war stories that recalls Alan Lightman's use of time in Einstein's Dreams and Italo Calvino's meditations on place in Invisible Cities , but Jergovic's book is the strongest of the three. -- Maud Newton, Newsday Favorite Book of the Year A remarkable collection. . . Grim, beautiful ruminations on how the familiarities of life can, in the instant a bomb drops, become unrecognizable. . . . With a natural sense of stopping point and courage to spare, Jergovic has the mien of the rare author whose gift is so innate he need only conquer a few demons and steady his hands enough to write it all down. -- San Diego Union Tribune Poetic and moving...Of the many books written on Bosnia, this collection of stories is perhaps the best. -- Slavenka Drakulic Praise for Kin : Vast, generous-spirited story of family across the face of the 20th century in the turbulent Balkans . . . There is beauty aplenty, and ample monstrosity, in Jergovic's account, as well as many moments of mystery: a beekeeper's coded journal, the alpenglow that surrounds Sarajevo as surely as a besieging army, the "living torment" that is existence, all come under Jergovic's empathetic eye. A masterwork of modern European letters that should earn the author a wide readership outside his homeland. -- Kirkus , Starred Review "[Jergovic's] astonishing project offers endless rewards. -- Publisher's Weekly , Starred Review A superb English translation . . . Kin is deeply interested in moments that trickle down through the years, and how, even when languages and the names of countries have changed, when wars have completely reshaped the region, these fleeting seconds have stayed rooted in a family's mind. -- Sarah McEachern, The Los Angeles Review of Books "Part novel, part memoir, part philosophical discourse and part historical account, I couldn't wait to start reading this one every morning: Its peaks are some of the most bracing reading I've done in a decade. Highest recommendation. -- John Darnielle, Named one of the 25 Books That Inspired the World (1989-2014) by World Literature Today Jergović's "fiction is news that stays news." -- World Literature Today Read this book: at Sarajevo many died and the twenty-first century was born. These spare tales speak of all that may yet befall us if we forget our essential fragility; by showing that while what unites us is undeniable, what we allow to divide us too easily becomes murderous. This classic of anti-war writing is a warning about the immense human cost of following those who would have us hate others. Its US publication could not be more timely. --Richard Flanagan, Gould's Book of Fish Like all great war books, Sarajevo Marlboro is not about war--it's about life. Jergovic is an enormously talented storyteller, so the people under siege come through in all their poignant fullness. And one more thing: this book does not belong to the literature of complaining, much too common these days--Sarajevo Marlboro is a book for the people who appreciate life." --Aleksandar Hemon, Nowhere Man Reading Miljenko Jergovic's Sarajevo Marlboro is like wrapping yourself in a quilt of 29 patches, with each patch personalizing the horrors of the Bosnian War in ways that are engaging, humorous, and unendingly sad. If we are ever to learn to avoid carnage it will be through such acts of constant humanizing as are captured in Jergovic's amazing work. --Richard Wiley, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Soldiers in Hiding Jergovic's writing derives great power from what is left unsaid. --Scotland on Sunday Poetic and moving . . . Of the many books written on Bosnia, this collection of stories is perhaps the best. --Slavenka Drakulic, S.: A Novel about the Balkans, Named one of the 25 Books That Inspired the World (1989-2014) by World Literature Today Jergovic's "fiction is news that stays news." -- World Literature Today Read this book: at Sarajevo many died and the twenty-first century was born.
