Where You Come From: Winner of the German Book Prize

Translated by Damion SearlsA powerful exploration of identity and belonging, `Where You Come From` is the major new novel from internationally acclaimed and bestselling author Sasa StanisicSasa Stanisic`s `Where You Come From` is a novel about a village where only thirteen people remain, a country that no longer exists, a shattered family that is his own. Blending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, Stanisic traces a family`s escape during the conflict in Yugoslavia, and the years that followed as they built a life in Germany. As he explores what it means to be European today, he examines how it feels to learn a new language, to find new friends and new jobs, and to build an identity between countries and cultures.`Where You Come From` is about homelands, both remembered and imagined. A book that bends form and genre with wit, heart, and exceptional craftsmanship to explore questions that lie inside all of us: about language and shame, about arrival and making it just in time, about luck and death, about what role our origins and memories play in our lives.”Wonderfully inventive and impressive.” Guardian
