Produktbeschreibung

Sacco gradually realized that Neven's own story - a microcosm of the Balkan conflict itself - might be the most compelling of all.

Rezensionen

This tightly wound, humane and suspenseful non-fiction graphic novella employs visual devices from the best traditions of film noir. Sacco's finely wrought, expressively rendered black and white drawings perfectly capture the emotional character of Sarajevo and the people who struggle to live there. This superlative and important story is easily one of the best comics non-fiction works of the year Publishers Weekly
