A review by jarcher
The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway

4.0

Snapshots of moral and existential philosophy under circumstances of unimaginable horror, The Cellist of Sarajevo was an immensely powerful and unnerving book. I can’t decide how I felt about the narration; on the one hand it felt frustratingly detached in emotionally charged moments, but in the other hand it emphasized the numbness that pervades in environments of constant tragedy. Regardless, this was a brilliant novel.
