The Question of Bruno

By: Aleksandar Hemon

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle de Cuir, Vikas Adam

In this stylistically adventurous, brilliantly funny tour de force - the most highly acclaimed debut since Nathan Englander's - Aleksander Hemon writes of love and war, Sarajevo and America, with a skill and imagination that are breathtaking.

A love affair is experienced in the blink of an eye as the Archduke Ferdinand watches his wife succumb to an assassin's bullet. An exiled writer, working in a sandwich shop in Chicago, adjusts to the absurdities of his life. Love letters from war-torn Sarajevo navigate the art of getting from point A to point B without being shot. With a sure-footed sense of detail and life-saving humor, Aleksandar Hemon examines the overwhelming events of history and the effect they have on individual lives. These heartrending stories bear the unmistakable mark of an important international writer.

What did you like best about this story?

Interesting. Change of focus, times, tenses, etc. Was hard to follow and I had to start a couple times to get the hang of listening to it with its multiple changes.
