Episode 170: Aleksandar Hemon at the Miami Book Fair
b'Aleksandar Hemon is a writer from Bosnia whose fiction and non-fiction has appeared in The New Yorker and Granta. His books include The Lazarus Project, The Question of Bruno, and The Book of My Lives.\\n\\n\\u201cFor me and for everyone I know, that\'s the central fact of our lives. It\'s the trauma that we carry, that we cannot be cured of. The way things are in Bosnia, it\'s far from over. It\'s not peace, it\'s the absence of war. It\'s always there as a possibility. There\'s no way to imagine anything beyond a society defined by war.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to The Standard Hotels, MailChimp, and Howl.FM for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\nShow Notes:\\naleksandarhemon.com\\nHemon on Longform\\n[1:00] "The Aquarium" (The New Yorker \\u2022 Oct 2014)\\n[1:00] The Book of My Lives (Farrar, Straus and Giroux \\u2022 2013)\\n[5:00] The Question of Bruno (Vintage \\u2022 2001)\\n[23:00] Submission (Michel Houellebecq \\u2022 Farrar, Straus and Giroux \\u2022 2015)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
