cibertina reviewed The impossible country by Brian Hall
Review of 'The impossible country' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A must-read for those interested in Yugoslavia/ the Balkans. Hall's tour through the country prior to the war years manages to evoke understanding and sympathy for broiling ethnic conflicts, dissapointing poverty, and commie-nostalgia. Hall doesn't pretend to be an expert and this outsider perspective allows the reader a realistic feel for a trip to the Balkans- with all its frustrations and confusion wrapped up in thousands of years as Europe's timber box.
