This book of short stories (indeed, most were under 10 pages) was a terrific, albeit heartbreaking read. The author is Bosnian and lived in the former Yugoslavia worker as a journalist and writer during the war. His stories focus on the disruptiveness and impact of the war both directly and indirectly, and the cost to relationships between people and their land. The final story, The Library, affected me deeply. Recommended!

760 pages of politicking and scheming in a fictional Baltic state and surrounding countries, translated from Serbo-Croatian. It is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it has its moments, and it is also very engaging. Reading it takes a bit of stamina, but it is definitely worth it.
