Globetrotter

The story is seen through the eyes of a Canadian who, physically present but somewhat on the sidelines, observes two men from the former Yugoslavia. He is especially drawn to one of them, Daniel Atijas; the other comes from the opposite side, from Croatia. Watching the relationship between the two, the Canadian comes to see how powerless he, and they, are to make sense of the tangled history of the Balkans. In this sense it is a political novel, raising questions about the collapse of states, sanctions, and collective and individual guilt.
