Confined to a hospital bed and overcome by a sense of powerlessness, he reflects on the fragility of life and finds extraordinary meaning in the quotidian. In this affecting autobiographical novel, Semezdin Mehmedinovic explores the love he and his family have for one another, strengthened by trauma; their harrowing experience of the Bosnian war, which led them to flee for the United States as refugees; eerie premonitions of Donald Trump's presidency; the life and work of a writer; and the nature of memory and grief."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Near-death experiences $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z Bosnia and Herzegovina $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Bosnia and Herzegovina $x History $y 1992- $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Bosnia and Herzegovina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Autobiographical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hawkesworth, Celia, $d 1942- $e translator. 700 1 $a Hemon, Aleksandar, $d 1964- $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 11 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314022121.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022718.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063425.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20211214011059.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014055.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064415.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20210625010647.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210602012617.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210520010210.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210504010249.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210409010116.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8899AC098F811EB8B32198124ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
