Narrator Steven Crossley brings fans of world literature this treasure: three autobiographical novellas by Bosnian writer Semezdin Mehmedinovic. Crossley is brisk and emotive as he conveys the dislocation of a man in his 50s who is reflecting on his life as a refugee fleeing conflict. Crossley's strong British accent may be distracting for some listeners, but this will likely be overcome by the many harrowing and interesting events he conveys. Beginning with a heart attack and going all the way back to early memories, the work unfolds key moments of Mehmedinovic's past. Crossley gives a capable performance, evoking the regret many feel in middle age. Listeners will enjoy this collection, which is part essay, part memoir, and part story.
