A 528-page special number on Sarajevo. In a brief, bold, and precisely worded Introduction, editor Ajmal Kamal focuses on the tragedy of Bosnia; on the efforts of conscientious European writers and journalists both to underscore the true dimensions of the cultural loss and to suspend its tragic consequences in the realm of literature and to point out the a1ffinity between the war-torn Bosnian capitol and the Pakistani city eruption of relentless culture of political violence.
