A daughter's journey through memory and loss in war-torn Sarajevo.

In Lejla Kalamujic's Call Me Esteban, a woman pieces together her identity by grappling with fragmented memories of her mother and navigating the complexities of pre- and post-war Sarajevo. From imagined encounters with Kafka to intimate moments in cozy apartments and stark scenes in psychiatric wards, she confronts her past to claim her present.

This piercing meditation explores themes of loss, resilience, and the search for self. Perfect for readers of literary fiction and personal narratives, Call Me Esteban offers a poignant glimpse into a woman's struggle to find meaning amidst the ruins of war and the echoes of family history. Discover a powerful story of identity, memory, and Sarajevo.
