I know you're never supposed to judge a book by its cover but this is cool. Thinking about making it the June #botm for the podcast.

Just happened to read this 📚 taking dust on my shelf 😊in French when I saw it is being published right now in English, with an intro from the great William Vollman.
The book is about a true historical character. Omer pacha is a man of Serbian ascent converted to Islam, and sent by the Ottoman to stem turmoils in Bosnia in 1850. It is a series of portraits a bit dull and flat of the persons surrounding Omer pacha. Barely worth the reading...
