0 other people called this a favorite
Sarajevo Marlboro by Miljenko Jergovic is a fantastic/al collection of short stories about life under siege in Bosnia's capital city. Jergovic's characters--Muslims, Serbs and Croats alike--are eccentric, memorable souls inhabiting a worn out world with a stubborn dark humor and a sometimes brutal honesty. You won't get all the details of the conflict, but the stories reveal small profound truths among the details of daily living during conflict. Part fact, part fiction, part magical realism, Sarajevo Marlboro is recommended reading for anyone looking to learn more about Bosnia and Herzegovina and life in general.
