Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Some of the richest delights in contemporary fiction, as well as some of the best jokes Guardian From the prize-winning author of The World and All That It Holds, Aleksandar Hemon, Love and Obstacles is a stunningly original collection of short fiction. The explosive perils of adolescence, a country falling apart, the overwhelming vertigo of striking out abroad: this is life in which love is only one of many obstacles. From Sarajevo to the darkest heart of Africa, deepest Slovenia, and the melting pot of Chicago, this brilliant and restlessly inventive collection is shot through with humour and truth found in the most surprising of places. Infinitely vibrant and alive Financial Times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Condition: Wie neu. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 254 (2) Seiten. 21 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: semper smile. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Hemon at his best: Stories zwischen Joseph Conrad und Led Zeppelin. Sein Roman »Lazarus« war die Entdeckung des Frühjahrs 2009. Seine Stories lesen sich wie ein Entwicklungsroman und sind voller Poesie, unprätentiöser Lebensweisheiten, mit einer gehörigen Portion Selbstironie. Und das alles in einer Sprache, die süchtig macht. »Es gibt immer einen Tunnel am Ende des Lichts.« Bogdan, der jugendliche Held in den Geschichten von Aleksandar Hemon, lässt sich schon mit sechzehn nicht von sinnlosen Sprüchen irritieren. Auch wenn ein Aufenthalt in Afrika ihm zeigt, dass er noch nicht einmal ahnt, was er alles nicht weiß, auch wenn der bosnische Krieg ihn heimatlos macht und ein Pulitzer-Preisträger sein Selbstbewußtsein als Schriftsteller hart auf die Probe stellt. Wie unwegsam und steil die Straße des Lebens auch sein mag, eines hat er verstanden: Es gibt keinen Weg zurück ins Paradies, aber wir können wenigstens versuchen, so hoch wie möglich zu steigen. Frech, herrlich schräg und voller hintergründigem Humor erzählt Aleksandar Hemon die Geschichten Bogdans, der sich durch nichts und niemanden am Erwachsenwerden und am Dichten hindern lässt. - Aleksandar Hemon wurde 1964 als Kind einer serbischen Mutter und eines bosnischen Vaters in Sarajevo geboren. Sein Großvater Teodor Hemon kam vor Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs aus der Ukraine nach Bosnien; beide Länder gehörten damals zu Österreich-Ungarn. Als Aleksandar Hemon sich 1992 im Rahmen eines Kulturaustauschs in den USA aufhielt und vom Beginn der Belagerung seiner Heimatstadt erfuhr, beschloss er, im Exil zu bleiben. Seit 1995 schreibt er auf Englisch und veröffentlicht regelmäßig unter anderem in The New Yorker, Granta und The Paris Review. Sein Erzählband Die Sache mit Bruno" erschien 2000 in acht Ländern gleichzeitig. 2002 folgte der Roman Nowhere man", der für den National Book Critics Circle Award nominiert war. Beide Bücher - erschienen bei Knaus - begeisterten Publikum wie Kritik. Die MacArthur Foundation zeichnete Aleksandar Hemon 2004 mit dem Genius Grant" aus. Spätestens seit seinem international gefeierten Roman Lazarus" gehört er zu den meist beachteten Stimmen der amerikanischen Gegenwartsliteratur. Mit Lazarus" stand er in Deutschland auf der Shortlist des Internationalen Buchpreises 2009. Er lebt in Chicago. - - Rudolf Hermstein, geb. 1940, studierte Sprachen in Germersheim und ist der Übersetzer von u.a. William Faulkner, Allan Gurganus, Doris Lessing, Robert M. Pirsig und Gore Vidal. Er wurde mit dem Literaturstipendium der Stadt München sowie mehrfach mit Stipendien des Deutschen Übersetzerfonds ausgezeichnet. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 280 Schwarzer Pappband mit Schutzumschlag.
