It is a book about passports and borders, rats and wolves, soldiers and ghosts. It is a record of the realities - and the unrealities - of life in the Balkans, narrated by an ordinary man with ears of ordinary silk', whose sees the face of sorrow in the Sarajevo wind leafing through newspapers / glued to the street by a puddle of blood'.
