Books: Europe and the Balkans
Ethan Casey
"I grew strangely elated by the novel's final image, that somehow human
beings can rediscover their dignity after the worst, that another's evil
cannot subdue our good. Time steals from each of us his or her life, but
time alone heals us. And which is the more severe mercy?"
BRENDAN HOWLEY reviews S.: A Novel about the Balkans by SLAVENKA DRAKULIC
"From my little island off the west coast of Sweden, I have England and
Scotland behind the horizon to the west, and Germany to the south. ... We
have a responsibility to understand what's going on and to contribute to the
discussions."
