Shaf and the Remington

A Balkan tale of war, philosophy, and a fateful shotgun. Shaf, a physics teacher and philosopher, becomes a partisan during WWII. After 40 years of silence, what became of him? Did the murder of his mother and girlfriend Nika by fascists spark his madness?


Ben, Shaf's former student, seeks answers. Set in Sabzic, a fictitious Balkan town, Shaf and the Remington chronicles a family and a nation from the first great war to the Cold War's end. Rana Bose explores the complexities of history, memory, and the human spirit.
