«Amour et obstacles» is the short story collection by Aleksandar Hemon, published in 2012 by Robert Laffont in paperback (247 pages, in French).
A narrator close to the author, a Yugoslav emigrant to the United States, carries the guilt of not having been in Sarajevo during the Bosnian war. The stories take place in times and places out of reach, with characters who live by proxy and settings that light turns expressionist; books and Beethoven symphonies appear as motifs.
Original work: «Love and Obstacles» (2008), winner of the St. Francis College Literary Prize (2009). French translation by Johan-Frédérik Hel-Guedj; Pavillons collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction on migration and memory; also of interest to followers of Aleksandar Hemon.
