New York: Alfred A. Knopf Inc., 1996. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Good. It is the autumn of 1991, the beginning of war in the former Yugoslavia. As a mass exodus empties Belgrade of those trying to evade the conflict just beyond the border, a young couple awaits the birth of their first child. This is the story of their family and those close to it - people desperately trying to carry on with their modern lives in a world increasingly ruled by primitive passions. It is a brutal story, by turns nightmarish and comical, giving us a generation caught in circumstances not of their making, but refusing nevertheless to share the visions of their country's rulers. It is a haunting tale of family life in surreal dissaray - a singular literary debut. 128 pages; the ffep has a pocket, 'withdrawn', and a bar code on it. The title page has a library stamp, and the spine has the library call letters on a label. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
