The Question of Bruno - Aleksandar Hemon

An author, born and raised in Sarajevo, now living in the U.S. and writing in English.

A collection of short stories with a wide variety of styles and tones - neurotic, absurd, pedantic, ironic, sarcastic.  Looks at different issues - life in Sarajevo under siege, watching the siege from outside Bosnia while knowing your family is still there, living under totalitarian regimes, a dark humour around americans and american life from an immigrants perspective, living on the margin as an immigrant in the U.S.

He writes well.  Worth finding more.
