PositiveHarvard Review\"Semezdin Mehmedinović’s autobiographical novel...manages to imprint something like the heart onto the page, something beating, aching, pulsing ... Mehmedinović’s prose is full of detours...into tiny details of memory ... Many autobiographical novels try to tell you something about life. Mehmedinović’s prose feels more like life itself on the page. It is filled with the busy, daily matter of living, which Mehmedinović recounts in vivid, color-filled prose.
