Fools Rush In
Now the basis for the major documentary film, Kiss the Future.
This “extraordinary human story” (Irish Times) is Bill Carter’s deeply personal memoir of his experience in the war-torn city of Sarajevo. In 1991, the 26-year-old Carter joined up with a maverick aid organization to deliver food to orphanages across the city while dressed as a clown. He soon discovered the underground world of punk rock clubs, discos, and a thriving cultural scene within the besieged city where art and music were used as a defiant act against the war. It was this creative spirit that led Carter on a journey to draw attention to the war in Bosnia and inspire hope among its people by convincing the rock band U2 to beam the citizens of Sarajevo into their stadium concerts via satellite.
Fools Rush In is a memoir of witness that shines an indelible light on the people of Sarajevo and their deep belief in coexistence during the longest siege in modern history.

Reviews and Comments
-
After reading FOOLS RUSH IN, you may find yourself giving much greater consideration to what in life is important and what is merely trivial.
-
Dante’s Inferno for the MTV generation. What a guide Bill Carter turns out to be to the hell of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. Oddly and inspiringly he finds some heaven there.
-
I keep a copy of this book near at hand for those moments when I seem to forget who I am.
-
FOOLS RUSH IN is a totally admirable book, the memoir of a young man written out of necessity, the only true reason to write a book…a memoir of grand proportion, and its consciousness will become part of your life.
