Publisher's Synopsis
A native of Sarajevo, Jozef Pronek comes to the United States in 1992just in time to watch war break out in his country but too early to be a genuine refugee. Indeed, Jozefs typical answer to inquiries about his origins and ethnicity is, I am complicated. And so he proves to benot just to himself, but to the revolving series of shadowy but insightful narrators who chart his progress from Sarajevo to Chicago; from a hilarious encounter with the first President Bush to a grave meeting with a heavily armed Serb. Moving, disquieting, and exhilarating,Nowhere Manis the kaleidoscopic portrait of a young man stranded in America by the war in Bosnia.
