With this collection of brutal and heart-wrenching stories, the Bosnian writer Faruk Šehić secured his reputation as one of the greatest writers to emerge from the region. A war veteran and a poet, Faruk Šehić combines beauty and horror to seduce and surprise the reader.
'Sehic has composed a humbling meditation on an existential conundrum that is central to collective and private trauma, but also to more ordinary human experience: how to keep the inner self whole in a world that will assault it in unimaginable ways.' Kapka Kassaova, The Guardian (on Quiet Flows the Una); "When I discovered Faruk Sehic, I didn't just see war in his work, I saw life in that war." Nikola Madzirov, poet; "It's been a long while since Bosnian literature has seen such an interesting and fine writer such as Faruk Sehic." Enver Kazaz, editor and critic
