"I read everything I could find in English……" — Aleksandar Hemon

"I read everything I could find in English - Twain, Henry James, Hemingway, really everything. And then after a while I started writing shorter pieces in English, and one of them got published in a literary magazine and that's how it got started. After that, graduate school didn't seem very important."

— Aleksandar Hemon
