sarajevo

  • A drawn map of the siege of Sarajevo by Bosnian-Serbians that lasted for about half of the 1990's. This interested me because I'm in the midst of William Vollmann's essays about his time spent in the various warring areas of former Yugoslavia, depicted in Volume VI of his opus on violence, Rising Up and Rising Down. He spent time holed up with some students in besieged Sarajevo, and described the tanks upon hills literally surrounding the city. Now I see what he means. (1) #
