Opis
The novel comprises three intertwined parts. The first is the war diary of Osti’s mother – an exceptional, valuable and moving testimony and one of the most important records documenting the three-year siege of Sarajevo. This, together with Osti’s inciteful stories of his memories and explanations about Sarajevo its people paints a terrifying – this descriptor from the title is surely justified – picture of the Bosnian war and parallel events in other areas, including Slovenia. The third dimension of the text, where Osti describes how he dealt with his ‘incurable’ kidney cancer, gives the war letters and diary of his mother and his memory of this period an additional existential consciousness. We are witness to human fates in the grip of tumultuous times and personal anguishes.
