: Jergović writes with a "devastatingly calm" voice. He captures the absurdity of life under siege where the mundane becomes miraculous. For instance, he might describe how the taste of a certain cigarette or the way a rug is beaten carries the entire weight of a lost civilization.

His most famous work, Sarajevo Marlboro (1994), is a collection of short stories that broke the mold. It doesn’t describe war from a general’s perspective but from the eyes of ordinary people: smokers, lovers, drifters. The book became a cult classic and was translated into over 20 languages.
