Like Eating a Stone: Surviving the Past in Bosnia
by Wojciech Tochman
Atlas & Company, September 2008
A grim and compelling account of life after the war in Bosnia.
“This is reportage of the highest order – reportage that employs the specific to tell a universal truth. [A] profound meditation on the horrors of war, [Tochman’s] work is all the more powerful for leaving the answers to terrible questions hanging.” – Financial Times.
“[Tochman's] style is all the more powerful for its restraint: outrage speaks terribly for itself, needs no hype, no color.” – Sunday Times (UK)
