My parents : an introduction ; This does not belong to you
Hemon, Aleksandar, 1964-2019
Books
In 'My Parents', Aleksandar Hemon tells the story of his parents' immigration to Canada - of the lives that were upended by the war in Bosnia and siege of Sarajevo, and the new lives his parents were forced to build. He portrays both the perfect, intimate details (his mother's lonely upbringing, his father's fanatical beekeeping) and a sweeping, heartbreaking history of his native country. 'This Does Not Belong to You', meanwhile, is the unabashedly personal companion to 'My Parents' - a perfect dose of Hemon at his most dazzling and untempered in a series of beautifully distilled memories and observations about his family, friends and childhood in Sarajevo, presented as explosive, hilarious, poignant miniatures.
