Basements and Other Museums in Bloomington, MN

With the precision of a surgeon and a poet’s reverberant intelligence, Vedran Husic gives us stories of children growing up in war-ravaged Bosnia, a world of vanishing fathers, games invented around an alley sniper’s bullets and the bittersweet aspirations of adolescent Bosnian immigrants and refugees in America. In taut yet voluptuous prose, with philosophic ferocity,
Basements and Other Museums
marks the debut of a crucial new voice in contemporary fiction. -Melissa Pritchard
