Mama Leone - Miljenko Jergovic

Another collection of short stories by Jergovic - kind of a series of collections within a collection.  Most of the stories are about his childhood and the twisted relations and strange random events around him.  Near the end, some of the stories deal with the period just before the war became really serious.  I didn't find the stories about childhood so interesting - somehow they all seemed a bit too much the same.  The emotions and relations explored are different, but the background against which this happens doesn't vary as much.
