Steven Galloway: The Cellist of Sarajevo Albinonis Adagio - youtube/watch?v=Y41eDQ00LaY At four oclock in the afternoon on May 27, 1992, during the Siege of Sarajevo, several motor shells struck a group of people waiting to buy bread behid the market on Vase Miskina. Twenty-two peope were killed and at least seventy were wounded. For the next twenty-two days Vedran Smailovic, a reknowned local cellist, played Albinonis Adagio in G Minor at the site in honor of the dead. His actions inspired this novel, but I have not based the character of the cellist on the real Smailovic, who was able to leave Sarajevo in December of 1993, and now lives in Northern Ireland.
