Soon after they moved into their apartment complex in Sarajevo, this book's protagonists were overcome by the 1992-1995 war and the disintegration of socialist Yugoslavia. More than a decade later, in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, they felt they were collectively stuck in a time warp where nothing seemed to be as it should be. Starting from everyday concerns, this book paints a compassionate yet critical portrait of people's sense that they were in limbo, trapped in a seemingly endless ""Meantime."" Ethnographically investigating yearnings for ""normal lives"" in the European semi-peripher

"L'air frais s'engouffrait dans la pièce glaciale et, m'approchant de la fenêtre, je sentis le vide béant sous mes pieds. Sarajevo plongée dans l'obscurité s'étendait au loin. Comme l'imposait le couvre-feu, on ne distinguait aucune lumière scintillant au coeur de la ville. J'imaginai le cours lent de la rivière et au-delà les cimes des montagnes enneigées. Hormis le souffle timide de la brise, quelques rares tirs de snipers et d'éphémères boules de feu explosant sur la colline, le silence enveloppait la nuit. Je me sentais au coeur des ténèbres l'hôte minuscule d'une planète inhabitée, astre au milieu des astres dont l'unique mouvement était désormais la rotation dans l'infini de l'univers". Un écrivain séjourne à l'Holiday Inn, l'hôtel où sont regroupés les journalistes du monde entier durant le siège de Sarajevo. Il y retourne vingt-cinq ans plus tard, hanté par le souvenir d'Anna, une anesthésiste romaine rencontrée dans un hôpital. --Page 4 of cover "Cool air rushed into the freezing room and, approaching the window, I felt the gaping void beneath my feet. Sarajevo plunged into darkness stretched far away. , there was no light twinkling in the heart of the city. I imagined the slow course of the river and beyond it the peaks of the snow-capped mountains. Apart from the timid breath of the breeze, a few rare sniper shots and ephemeral balls of fire exploding on the hill, the silence enveloped the night. I felt myself in the heart of darkness the tiny guest of an uninhabited planet, a star among the stars whose sole movement was henceforth the rotation in the infinity of the 'universe". A writer is staying at the Holiday Inn, the hotel where journalists from all over the world gathered during the siege of Sarajevo. He returns there twenty-five years later, haunted by the memory of Anna, a Roman anesthetist he met in a hospital. --Page 4 of cover

Sarajevo’s Holiday Inn on the Frontline of Politics and War charts the rich history of the city’s famous Holiday Inn hotel. Describing in detail the tumultuous events that took place within its walls and in its immediate environs, this book explores the opening of the building in advance of the 1984 Winter Olympics through the early 1990s when the hotel was utilized by political elites through to the siege of Sarajevo, when the hotel became the main base for foreign correspondents. Kenneth Morrison draws upon a plethora of primary and secondary sources, and includes extensive interviews with many participants in the drama that was played out within the confines of the hotel, contextualizing the case of the Holiday Inn by analyzing how hotels are utilized in times of conflict. .

"Sarajevo to Paris, fashion or reportage, deciding on the title of a book is mind-boggling. I call myself a documentary photographer that accidentally ended up doing fashion. The end of the '80s was an interesting and intense time in world history, and a particularly creative time in the world of fashion. As a young female photographer I was interested in both worlds. I was travelling for newspapers and magazines to the fashion weeks in Milan and Paris and to the conflict zones of Lebanon and Iraq. It was during the war in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the siege of Sarajevo that I matured in documentary photography, fortunately without being injured. Thirty years later, when looking back, those two worlds — documentary and fashion — still define my work. Both are equally represented in my archives. This book, of my fashion work, is the first to be published. I called it Sarajevo to Paris because sometimes I would travel directly from one to the other. These two cities had a big impact on my life."
