A review by jonfaith
Love and Obstacles by Aleksandar Hemon

3.0

Have been battling a cold all weekend and this collection was at hand. So much of Hemon’s work is but variations on a theme. This is much the same, semi autobiographical sketches, though aside from Sarajevo and Chicago, an exotic take of Zaire in the 1980s is included. I do find the Balkan details interesting. I try to keep verification through my wife to a minimum. I do regard the endeavor as artful, I just expected more at this point.
