A native of Sarajevo, where he spends his adolescence trying to become Bosnias answer to John Lennon, Jozef Pronek comes to the United States in 1992-just 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 be-not 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 somewhat more grave one with a heavily armed Serb whom he has been hired to serve with court papers. Moving, disquieting, and exhilarating in its virtuosity, Nowhere Man is the kaleidoscopic portrait of a magnetic young man stranded in America by the war in Bosnia.
