“He’s on the main road, the one where the streetcars used to run. The south side of the street is piled high in places with barriers to shield cars and pedestrians from the hills to the south, thought there are still places for a sniper to sneak a bullet through. He’s heard foreigners call this street Sniper Alley, and this makes him laught, because it seems to him that every street in Sarajevo could have this name.”
The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway

Oh this sounds good.
Ohhh, this sounds good! I used to have a friend who lived Zagreb, Croatia and I remeber her telling me that after the war it was nice to be able to walk down the street when she was in Sarajevo without worring about being shot! Wow, it makes me relise how good we have it here.
Sounds like a very weighty read … excellent teaser.
