„It mattered more «what» you were, than «who» you were”. Interview with Saša Stanišić
We had the chance to speak with Saša Stanišić at The International Book Fair (29 May – 2 June 2013), when he was among the special guests of the event „Three countries, one language”. Saša Stanišić was born in Visegrád (now, Bosnia) and in 1992 he emigrated with his parents in Germany. He is best known for his novel How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone, nominated for the prestigious Deutscher Buchpreis, in 2006. We spoke with him about war experience and how much it influenced his writing.
