Love and Obstacles: stories Alexsander Hemon
Interconnecting short stories from the Bosnian-born Hemon are a pleasure to read with a grace in writing prose that feels like poetry. Clever, but not too clever. Honest about the limitations of the ex-patriot experience. Taking place in Zaire, Bosnia, and the US, the flawed characters try and make the most of their changing environment with varied success. I haven’t read his well received novel, “The Lazarus Project”, but it’s now on my list.
