Summary
Dževad Karahasan: Sara i Serafina
Selected works - Book 4
novel
Sara and Serafina is, therefore, a novel, and a somewhat different novel than Karahasan's most famous (and best) novels: Eastern Diwan and Sahrijar's Ring. Namely, this novel does not have the complexity of construction and the parallelism of several novelistic lines that Karahasan developed in his previously mentioned works of this genre.
However, that in itself is not a bad thing. On the contrary, in this novel, Karahasan very successfully tackled the inevitable theme of Bosnian literature lately: war, but not just for the sake of writing a work that would superficially be characterized as a war novel. On the contrary, the war here is only the setting for Karahasan's already known themes, themes that he develops in his earlier works, to be explored in a new way.
Actually, if one were to look for an earlier work by Karahasan that this novel is most reminiscent of, it would be the framework story of Sahrijar's Ring about Faruk and Azra. Only, the problem with that story was that at the end of it, the war was simply grafted unnaturally, as if the writer who had a finished novel even before the war wanted to add the determinant of war to the novel with that grafting.
In Sara and Serafina, on the contrary, war is inseparable from the story. And the story is interesting and recognizably Karahasan's. Those who like his novels and essays will also like this book. And in it there are those Karahasan's seductive and original novelistic essays that actually represent the best of Karahasan.
