Overview
From the author of The World and All That It Holds, Aleksandar Hemon''s stunning debut The Question of Bruno is a collection of beautifully told yet polically-charged short fiction.
In this elegy for the vanished Yugoslavia, Hemon''s stories journey through the intertwined history of a family and a nation, writing in prose of unparalleled daring, invention and wit.
This collection features the novella Blind Jozef & Dead Souls, as a young immigrant to the United States watches while his homeland of Sarajevo falls to a violent siege.
‘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
