Sarajevo Marlboro

Miljenko Jergović’s landmark collection of stories, Sarajevo Marlboro, set during the siege of Sarajevo, provides a deeply personal perspective on the lives of ordinary people trapped in extraordinary circumstances. At the same time, it offers profound insight into the universality of wartime suffering.

A native of Sarajevo, Jergović worked as a journalist for the weekly newspaper Nedjeljna Dalmacija, reporting from the besieged city during the Bosnian War, where he also served as a television editor. He witnessed moments of love, loss, and hope that transcended the surrounding violence. Against the backdrop of a war-torn city, these stories capture the resilience of everyday life. Each tale is a gem, rich with vivid details and unforgettable characters who linger in the reader’s mind long after the final page. Sarajevo Marlboro earned Jergović international acclaim and several prestigious awards, including the Erich Maria Remarque Peace Prize and the Ksaver Šandor Gjalski Award.

A tremendous volume; everybody should read it. “The Gardener” is one of the best stories I’ve ever read, but there are so many gems here — approachable, readable, witty, open, devastating. - John Darnielle, The Mountain Goats
