Reviews Mahmutovic's writing is beautiful, and without the use of artifice or complicated phrasing, he tells the stories with a deceptively easy hand, as if it all happened to someone else, long ago and far away, but with no less impact, for each story hammers at the pit of the stomach. The author steps out of the way and lets the voices of his characters take the lead, leaving this reader to turn the pages quickly. -- Mahmutovic's work does not wallow in self-pity, nor do his characters. Inside the plain cover holds stories and poetry that speaks truths, those that may cause one to feel discomfort, pity, and anger, yet Mahmutovic does not ask the reader to feel this way, does not use his words to soothe or affect some change, instead, he says, [RUFUGE]E is not a comfort. It is not a real shelter "whatever you, the reader, immerse yourself in here, whatever you find here to lift you up as being, be my guest." - Kathryn Magendie Read full review Adnan's book is a collection of stories and essays inspired from his personal experiences as a Bosnian refugee uprooted from his homeland and forced to settle into a new life in Sweden. He documents with powerful fiction and non-fiction his psychological struggles to come to terms with both the horrors of war and life on the refugee road. - Szirine Magazine Through Adnan's little stories you will catch a glimpse and feel for life as lived by these Bosnian refugees. He's a good writer and is telling us something we need to hear... remember: pay attention to what's happening around you and never take for granted the life and freedoms we enjoy. - Key Trout, writer » Back to adnanmahmutovic.com
