Interview: Namik Kabil, writer
I let myself down the cliffs of my own obsessions
"Guided by the starting point that a writer should tell what he knows, I started from the family's decision to demolish the house in Trebinje that used to be a home and build a new building on that site. That was the core of the story at the very beginning, but I quickly realized that it was necessary to describe and explain what the core was, what kind of life, city, time, and especially what happened, I mean first of all the war. And I can only rationally order and name these listed here now, while in the very process of writing the book it was more a matter of feelings that I relied on."
