S. – A NOVEL ABOUT THE BALKANS
”Slavenka Drakulić is a curageous and passionate writer from that vanished country, Yugoslavia – a voice to be trusted in an echo chamber of lies. With this book she takes us down into the very heart of the Balkan darkness and the slowly back up to the light. It is fiction with the terrible authority of truth.”
Michael Ingnatieff, author of Isaiah Berlin: A Life”Slavenka Drakulić has courageously provided some of the most searing commentary on the war that swept her homeland and the whole Balkan region. But to understand its true nature and the mindset of those who pursued the war, one has to know what they did to the women of Bosnia. Beyond painful, beyond brutal , it was almost impossible to comprehand. Once again, Slavenka Drakulić forces us to understand.”
Christiane Amanpour, Chief International Correspondent, CNN”If you would understand a central contemporary event in its full, human dimensions, read this spare and very moving novel.”
Eva Hoffmann, author of Lost in Translation and Exit into History”S. may well be one of the strongest books about war you will eve read.”
