Composed on an early machine-translation computer while the author hid in her bathroom during bomb raids, the book consists of short, interconnected episodes describing the daily traumas of war and genocide and their effect on life and family, memory and language. Told in a unique and elegant staccato style, it's an emotional account of a woman trying to make sense of the seeming collapse of the two utopian projects that have framed her life--Yugoslavia and Esperanto. At turns somber and darkly witty, \u003ci\u003eCroatian War Nocturnal\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of enduring optimism, a cry for peace against violence and indifference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phoneme Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944700133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Spomenka Stimec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41573902549173,"sku":"9781944700133","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_602873a0-f505-4563-af58-6113a6e98a2b.jpg?v=1643686851","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/croatian-war-nocturnal-9781944700133","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
