“I like to blur the line between fact and fiction, but not to condescen...” — Aleksandar Hemon Quote

“I like to blur the line between fact and fiction, but not to condescend to the reader by enmeshing her/him into some sort of a postmodern coop.”

“When I found myself in the U.S., and the war was at full swing in Bosnia, I read for survival - it was a means of thought resuscitation.”

“I have two homes, like someone who leaves their hometown and/or parents and then establishes a life elsewhere. They might say that they're going home when they return to see old friends or parents, but then they go home as well when they go to where they live now. Sarajevo is home, Chicago is home.”

“New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.”

“My life has been such a blur since I was 18, 19 years old. I haven't even had time to contemplate my own life. By forcing yourself to write your life story you learn a great deal about yourself.”

“Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.”
