‘Elijah’s Chair’, by Igor Stiks, at the ‘Luis Jiménez de Asúa’ Social Integration Centre

from 16/04/2015
to 11/06/2015
From 00:00

Coinciding with the 23th anniversary of the outbreak of the war in Bosnia, the members of the Social Integration Centre book club will analyze the novel ‘Elijah’s Chair’, by Croatian writer Igor Stiks.

The author, who writes in Croatian and lives between Paris and Edinburgh, has been very influenced by the pain suffered by Sarajevo’s citizens. Through the cathartic power of writing, Stiks uses his characters to help heal the unjustified remorse produced by his belonging to a generation of authors who lived the conflict from exile.
