This book has been on my to read (to find?) list since it came out. I don't think I had access back then, and then somewhere along the way I got it into my head this would be a long, dense history. Who knows how, maybe that milosevic bio I had to read in college. Anyway it's short, and personal, and as moving as the stories I heard at the time from friends in exile. I'll never forget a recording out the window of a belgrade apartment, just 7 minutes of bombs in the distance, and sometimes closer. It's hard to be more eloquent than that, but this diary is close.

Labeled a traitor by nationalist Serbians because she opposes the war in Kosovo, a dissident journalist chronicles the intimate details that haunt her daily life. Amidst the bombardment, however, hope persists: neighbors braving air attacks to commune at midnight Easter service; young women performing ballet recitals despite all threats of danger; strangers gathered for safety, waiting for the next NATO bomb to strike. The author takes us beyond the sound bites of the nightly news by offering a firsthand account of daily life in a war zone. The Diary of a Political Idiot was named a PEN selection for 2000 and has been simultaneously published in 11 languages. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
