SinopseThis is the first nonfiction book - searing, revealing, unforgettable - from one of our most acclaimed writers. Aleksandar Hemon´s lives begin in Sarajevo, a small, blissful city where a young boy´s life is consumed by football, by resentment of his younger sister, and by occasional trips abroad with his engineer-cum-beekeeper father; and where a young man´s life is about poking at the pretensions of the city´s elders with American music, bad poetry, and slightly better journalism. Yet this is not really a memoir. It is a love song to Sarajevo and to Hemon´s adopted Chicago; it is a heartbreaking paean to the bonds of family; it is a stirring exhortation to go out and play football - and not for the exercise. It is a book driven by passions but built on fierce intelligence, devastating experience, and sharp insight. And like the best narratives, it is a book that will leave you a different reader - a different person, with a new way of looking at the world. For fans of Hemon´s fiction, The Book of My Lives is simply indispensable. For the uninitiated, it is the perfect introduction to one of the great writers of our time.
