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, Jozef's 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 Man is the kaleidoscopic portrait of a young man stranded in America by the war in Bosnia.
