Works

Humo started out as a poet. Later he turned more to prose and wrote short stories, novels and also dramas in which he described the difficult fate of the Muslim ordinary people in Bosnia with a clear tendency towards idealization. Humo's best-known work is the novel "Trunkener Sommer", which has also been translated into German. In it he describes autobiographical experiences, moods and the tender love of a summer on his father's estate. All of this ends with autumn, the sadness of parting and the hope of a new spring.
