  When his literary ambitions are frustrated, Milan Zorec decides he needs something original to write about. It is 1995 and Zorec heads from London to the black heart of Europe's most brutal conflict in half a century: the Bosnian War. There he joins the Serbian military forces as a sniper and helps them pick off civilians cowering in the besieged city of Sarajevo. Excited by the violence, seduced by the carnage and intrigued by the lost souls who are his comrades, Zorec spends his spare time reflecting on the power of words, the evils of the literary establishment and the absurdities of war.
