Nesreća i stvarne potrebe

When war begins in 1992, it cuts short the career of Una, a young Yugoslav comic artist whose strip, Kunta Kinte Lives in the Balkans, is the diary of a town, a generation and a time. An innocent poster triggers an avalanche of events that find their resolution twenty years later in Vancouver. When young Eros from Tromuk, her Bosnian hometown, appears, the unfinished comic of the past opens again, and everyone involved in what began in the small town rises out of the ink asking to be explained. Through the drawn novel and its varied characters, the book moves between history and family misfortune, from comic to tragic, from love to betrayal, and between the Balkans and the neoliberal West.
