How great a misfortune does it take for the world to believe in it?
Wojciech Tochman's shocking tale of the consequences of war
The end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) does not bring relief to the surviving women. They must find their men who disappeared. Bury them and mourn them. Without the help of Dr. Ewa Elvira Klonowski, this would be impossible.
Wojciech Tochman has returned to Bosnia many times. He took part in exhumations of mass graves and the consolidation of human remains. Like Eating a Stone is a dramatic story of strong women who, despite the enormity of the atrocity, try to restore the value of everyone's life.
The book was a finalist for the 2003 NIKE Award and the prestigious Prix RFI Témoin du Monde award. Published in London and New York, among other places, it was recommended to readers by English Pen.
The levity with which Tochman recounts the horrors of war and its toxic consequences has a powerful effect precisely because of the economy of style: the cruelty speaks for itself, it needs no description or coloring. “The Times”
The book is written in Polish.
