The Lazarus Project

Bosnian-American author and MacArthur genius recipient Aleksandar Hemon pens novels of high insight and deft literary accomplishment. The Lazarus Project, alternating between turn-of-the-century Chicago and modern times, features a man attempting to reimagine the death of a Jewish immigrant. "... there's pathos and outrage enough to chip away at even the hardest of hearts."-Publishers Weekly, starred review
