At the age of twenty-seven, Hemon journeyed to Chicago--a trip that would mark the beginning of another life, this time in the United States. There, he watched from afar as war broke out in Bosnia, his parents and sister fleeing, and Hemon himself unable to return. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet this, his first book of nonfiction, is much more than a memoir of these experiences. At once a love song to two cities and a paean to the bonds of family, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of My Lives\u003c\/i\u003e is a singular work of passion, built on fierce intelligence, unspeakable tragedies, and sharp insight. Like the best narratives, it is a book that will leave you a different reader when you finish--and a different person, with a new way of looking at the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e A \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003eBest Nonfiction Book of 2013\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAleksandar Hemon is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Question of Bruno\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNowhere Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLazarus Project\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLove and Obstacles\u003c\/i\u003e.
