    About The Question of Bruno

    In this stylistically adventurous, brilliantly funny tour de force-the most highly acclaimed debut since Nathan Englander’s-Aleksander Hemon writes of love and war, Sarajevo and America, with a skill and imagination that are breathtaking.

    A love affair is experienced in the blink of an eye as the Archduke Ferdinand watches his wife succumb to an assassin’s bullet. An exiled writer, working in a sandwich shop in Chicago, adjusts to the absurdities of his life. Love letters from war torn Sarajevo navigate the art of getting from point A to point B without being shot. With a surefooted sense of detail and life-saving humor, Aleksandar Hemon examines the overwhelming events of history and the effect they have on individual lives. These heartrending stories bear the unmistakable mark of an important new international writer.

    Praise

    “Not just an extraordinary storyteller but an extraordinary writer: one who seems not simply gifted but necessary.”–The New York Times Book Review

    “By turns terrifying, gently comic and brutally satiric, these are stunning stories that compel the reader to view a world rendered … abruptly alien and unfamiliar.”–San Francisco Chronicle

    “The man is a maestro…. As vivid a prose as you will find anywhere this year, and as heartbreaking.”–Esquire
