Jozef Pronek is a young man from Sarajevo who left to visit Chicago in the United States in 1992, just in time to watch war break out in his hometown on T.V. He has a series of global adventures throughout the book and his travels are told to us by multiple narrators with different points of view. The final episode illustrates to us what it means to be a Nowhere Man. With the authors use of extraordinary similes, he shows us the caliber of his writing. With an engrossing narrative, engaging warmth, and refreshing humor, Nowhere Man brings to life a protagonist whose very way of looking at and living in the world provokes an exhilarating sense of seeing everything new again. The novel was a bit choppy in some areas and needed some editing but otherwise I did enjoy the book. Looking forward to reading more from this author in the near future. I would recommend this book to those who are interested in the Balkan War from the early 90's.
