description: 'You will go a long way to find anything better than this' Edward Docx'There is simply more history and more drama in Hemon's stories than in a shelf and a half of the usual dayglo Anglo-American entertainment' "Guardian""The Question of Bruno" is an elegy for the vanished Yugoslavia and a journey through the intertwined history of a family and a nation, written in prose of unparalleled daring, invention and wit.'Amazing. The personal fall-out of political failure has never been so searing' "Time Out"'Like Nabokov, Hemon writes with the startling peeled vision of the outsider, weighing words as if for the first time; he shares with Kundera an ability to find grace and humour in the bleakest of circumstances' "Observer"'A storyteller, funny and sad in equal measure, and always entertaining' "Scotland on Sunday"
