Publisher Description
With this collection of brutal and heart-wrenching stories, the Bosnian writer Faruk Sehic secured his reputation as one of the greatest writers to emerge from the region. A war veteran and a poet, Sehic combines beauty and horror to seduce and surprise the reader; Sehic literally describes the war through the gun sight of an AK-47. His book is brutal, naturalistic, honest and uncompromising; his characters kill and get killed, they rob corpses and homes, they get drunk and get into fights, they parade in front of a mirror wearing a uniform ripped off a dead soldier. There's drugs and alcohol in abundance, and they are--paradoxically--reason's last line of defense.
Author Biography
Until the outbreak of war in 1992, Faruk Sehic studied veterinary medicine in Zagreb. However, the then 22-year-old voluntarily joined the army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which he led a unit of 130 men. After the war he studied literature and has gone on to create his own literary works. Literary critics have hailed Sehic as the leader of the `mangled generation' of writers born in 1970s Yugoslavia, and his books have achieved cult status with readers across the whole region. His debut novel 'Quiet Flows the Una' (Knjiga o Uni, 2011) received the Mesa Selimovic prize for the best novel published in the region, and also the EU Prize for Literature in 2013. His most recent book is a collection of poetry entitled `My Rivers' (Moje rijeke, Buybook, 2014). Sehic lives in Sarajevo and works as a columnist and journalist.
