Mama Leone by Miljenko Jergovic
Mama Leone is a moving patchwork of a childhood devastated by war. Prize-winning author and poet Miljenko Jergovic presents his masterfully crafted novel set in Yugoslavia which draws the reader into a boy's episodic, profoundly personal recounting of his war-torn homeland and childhood. Dazzling, rhapsodic, and above all compassionate, these linked stories, deeply rooted in place and history, break down stereotypes and humanise a complex cultural conflict.
Croatian writer Miljenko Jergovic is a leading author in the region of former Yugoslavia and the recipient of numerous national and international awards. He lives in Zagreb, Croatia. Stephen M. Dickey is associate professor in the Slavic languages and literatures department, University of Kansas. Janja Pavetic-Dickey, a native of Croatia, served as staff translator and interpreter at the UN War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.
