The New Yorker’s Nov. 28, 2005 issue.

The Chicago-based Bosnian writer Aleksander Hemon recently contributed a story to The New Yorker about a man’s trip to the eastern Slovenian town of Murska Sobota to buy a freezer. It has some pretty funny lines about the sleepy eastern town, like: "Murska Sobota sounded exotic and dangerous" and the classic: "This is why we say goodbye. You knew that it
could happen when you sent me to the monstrous city, to the endless
night, when you sent me to Murska Sobota." (That line would look great on a postcard.)

You can read the story in its entirety here: Aleksander Hemon’s Love and Obstacles (printer-friendly version)
