Song of Kosovo

Vida Zanković has done many things to stay alive. A wily young man caught in the insanity of the Balkan wars, Vida has dealt drugs, been forced to join the army, and then deserted when he tried to save a young boy trapped beneath a mountain of corpses. Being accused of genocide, however, forces Vida into a whole new level of surrealism. Weaving strands of Balkan mythology and history, threading them through the life of a man who only wants to live out his days with the woman he loves, Gudgeon crafts a transcendent tale at once grotesque and absurd, satiric and tragic, touching and real. Chris Gudgeon has written several books of non-fiction and regularly writes for radio, television, film, and print publications. War Fiction, Political Fiction, Literary Fiction, Canadian Author.
