Six months later, the boy's father joins them, bringing a brown suitcase, insomnia, and a scar on his thigh. Sasa Stanisic's \u003cem\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/em\u003e is a novel about this family, whose world is uprooted and remade by war: their history, their life before the conflict, and the years that followed their escape as they created a new life in a new country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, \u003cem\u003eWhere You Come From\u003c\/em\u003e is set in a village where only thirteen people remain, in lost and made-up memories, in coincidences, in choices, and in a dragons' den. Translated by Damion Searls, it's a novel about homelands, both remembered and imagined, lost and found. A book that playfully twists form and genre with wit and heart to explore questions that lie inside all of us: about language and shame, about arrival and making it just in time, about luck and death, about what role our origins and memories play in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSasa Stanisic\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Visegrad (Yugoslavia) in 1978 and has lived in Germany since 1992.
