{"product_id":"sarajevo-marlboro","title":"Sarajevo Marlboro","description":"\u003cb\u003eA remarkable and bracing collection of \"classic anti-war writing\" (Richard Flanagan) from Croatian writer Miljenko Jergovic, whose piercing prose recalls Kurt Vonnegut and Aleksander Hemon\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Miljenko Jergovic's remarkable début collection of stories, \u003ci\u003eSarajevo Marlboro\u003c\/i\u003e, earned him wide acclaim throughout Europe. In \"melancholy, dreamlike\" prose, the stories in \u003ci\u003eSarajevo Marlboro\u003c\/i\u003e \"recall Alan Lightman's \u003ci\u003eEinstein's Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e and Italo Calvino's \u003ci\u003eInvisible Cities\u003c\/i\u003e, but Jergovic's book is the strongest of the three\" (Maud Newton). Croatian by birth, Jergovic spent his childhood in Sarajevo and chose to remain there throughout most of the war. These stories are distinctly of the material world, and they are shaped by Jergovic's deeply personal vision, subterranean humor, and a razor-sharp understanding of the fate of the city's young Muslims, Croats, and Serbs - the minute details of their interior lives in the foreground, the killing zone in the background.","brand":"Archipelago Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53639214268782,"sku":"9780972869225","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_9a2c57dd-b239-4070-b788-2aaca9e2a67f.jpg?v=1776571359","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/sarajevo-marlboro","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
