Paperback. Condición: Like New. From award-winning writer Ismet Prcic, a ?brutal and tender and beautiful? (Tommy Orange, author of Wandering Stars) novel that is ?part existential cry?part anguished confession?a transfiguring of personal memory to obscure the terrible cost of exile? (The New York Times).Having fled his war-torn hometown of Tuzla in Bosnia-Herzegovina as a teenager, our narrator, Izzy, found love and a measure of stability in California with his beloved. But his American marriage couldn?t survive his Bosnian brokenness, the trauma so entrenched and insidious that it became impossible to communicate to anyone outside of himself?even the person he loved most. Now, as he writes in the first of many courageously candid fan letters to the comedian Bill Burr, he knows he must try. ?An adventurous novel that meshes a fragmented narrative with a broken soul? (Kirkus Reviews), Unspeakable Home takes us through Izzy?s memories and confessions as he reflects on his bomb-ravaged childhood, the implosion of his relationships, and an agonizing battle with alcoholism. As multiple narrators surface in fragments with increasingly tenuous connections to reality, Ismet Prcic unearths the psychological cost of exile and shame with a roving, kinetic energy and a sharp, searching sense of humor. What emerges is a vivid and poignant exploration of the stories we create to hide the deepest parts of our identity from ourselves, as well as a hard-won, life-affirming promise of redemption.…
