Bosnian Serb Boy

By Milan Djurasovic

Bosnian Serb Boy is about a child who has no particular ambitions except to make it from one day to the next without too much pain. It is about a boy who loses his childhood playground to ethnic and religious divide, war violence and displacement, then becoming a refugee in the very country that bombed his own people. It's also a story of a child trying to find his identity without a single convincing male role model. He is a sickly boy who is overprotected, even smothered, by his mother and her love for him. But, at the same time, or this is how the boy sees it, his mother is willing to sacrifice him for what she takes to be the love and protection of grown-up men. The strength of the boy's character is his honesty. He shows his weaknesses to the reader, there is no genius to compensate for his suffering, no vanity, no drama, and he does not claim to know more than he does.
