Críticas:

'Often regarded as one of the pioneers of women’s war writing in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Lazarevska represents an alternative to the heroic war discourse, the traditional way of writing about wars.''

The Missing Slate

“Lazarevska’s intelligence and imagination in 'Death in the Museum of Modern Art' make it a brilliant, engaging work of fiction.”
Aleksandar Hemon

“I say that one writer is already great, and if not [already] great, will be great—Alma Lazarevska... With a few metaphors, tremendously powerful ones, she says it all...''
Abdulah Sidran, novelist.

''Nothing, not even history itself, prepares the reader for the paralysing beauty of the images that emerge from these stories written by a Bosnian survivor of the siege of Sarajevo.''

Eileen Battersby, Best Books of 2014, Irish Times

Reseña del editor:

A tender and revealing set of stories by the uniquely delicate Bosnian writer, Alma Lazarevska. Avoiding the easy traps of politics and blame, Lazarevska reveals a world full of incidents and worries so similar to our own, and yet always under the shadow of the snipers and the bombs that we know are out there and that occasionally impinge on the story in shocking ways. One of the finest works to have emerged from the tragedy that was the siege of Sarajevo. The Award for "Best Book of 1996" from the Society of Writers of Bosnia and Herzegovina · Translated by the award-winning Celia Hawkesworth (short-listed for the Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize & winner of the Heldt Prize for Translation, for Dubravka Ugrešić's 'The Culture of Lies')
