Recensione:

PRAISE FOR ALEKSANDAR HEMON AND THE QUESTION OF BRUNO

"So good as to make the reader feel certain of having discovered...an extraordinary writer: one who seems not simply gifted but necessary."
--New York Times Book Review

"The man is a maestro, a conjurer, a channeler of universes... as vivid a prose as you will find this year."
--Esquire

"Aleksandar Hemon is a striking new voice in fiction."
--Amy Tan

"Before the comparisons to Nabokov and Conrad start coming (and odds are they'll come fast and furious), know this: Hemon is an original voice, and he has imagination and talent all his own."
--Entertainment Weekly (Editors Choice, Grade 'A')
