Do boljeg jučer: Many Possible Readings

A novel that uses a science-fiction, time-travel premise to explore post-war life in Sarajevo, where characters share a tendency to blame the war for their failures. The review reads it less as a book about war than about present-day burden, and questions the naive idea that killing Milošević could have prevented conflict. It finds the work underdeveloped on both the speculative and psychological levels, though open enough to invite many possible interpretations.
