Sarajevo Blues

Studio 360

Aleksandar Hemon, the author of the novel Nowhere Man, was in Chicago in 1992 when the war began in his hometown of Sarajevo. He found out much as he could, through TV news, phone calls, and letters from friends — and found solace through the poetry of Semezdin Mehmedinovic. Produced by Michele Siegel.
