Reviews
"[An] astonishing literary debut...Brkic's prose never wavers. It remains stalwart, exact, brutal, and grittily poetic."--Newsday "An unflinching approach...She has a gift for shaping complicated, absorbing characters...A provocative and all-too-timely look at the ravages of war."--The Washington Post Book World "The impression we're left with after reading Stillness is one of respect for Brkic's seriousness, her sympathy, and her spirit."--Francine Prose, The New York Times Book Review "Haunting...They detonate in the mind."--Los Angeles Times "Harrowing...[Brkic] has effectively captured the horrors of fleeting moments in the lives of people trapped by aimless wars.... The power of these Balkan stories is undeniable."--Richmond Times-Dispatch

Synopsis
The war in the Balkans provides the striking back-drop for these emotionally resonant, morally challenging, and uplifting short stories. Brkic's collection gives voice to people caught in situations beyond their control, as man, woman, and child struggle to survive and understand what it means to live beyond those you love. A man trapped in a cellar; a sniper overlooking a city street; a young woman whose father is convicted of war crimes. Each character challenges the reader's notions of conflict by living lives of surprising self-awareness, deceit, and courage.
