- Summary:
- A psychiatrist and a journalist join together to tell a story of genocide and healing
- Wounded I am More Awake follows the story of Esad Boškailo, a doctor who survives six concentration camps in Bosnia and emerges with powerful new lessons for healing in an age of genocide. Human rights journalist Julia Lieblich takes the reader through Boškailo's early years under Tito to the wars when friends turned on friends. She documents his harrowing experiences in the camps, where the men he once joined for coffee murder his best friend from childhood.
- But the story does not end there. Today, inspired by the late psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, Boškailo, now a psychiatrist himself, uses his own experience to help patients mourn their losses and find meaning in the aftermath of terror. Book jacket.
