Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. This is a quirky story. As I read, there were times I wondered "What is it about?" "What is Novakovich trying to say?" which sometimes made me question why I was reading it. But then I'd read on because it is a compelling mix of pathos and absurdity. By the end it had come together for me, after a twist I wasn't expecting (because I didn't read or remember the blurbs). Ultimately it has left me with a few things to ponder when I'm in a philosophical mood. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Ivan Dolinar is born in Tito's Yugoslavia on April Fool's Day, 1948 -- the auspicious beginning of a life that will be derailed by backfiring good intentions in a world of propaganda and paranoia. At age nineteen, an innocent prank cuts the young Croatian's budding medical career short and lands him in a notorious labor camp. Released on the eve of civil war, Ivan is drafted into the wrong army, becoming a pawn in an absurd conflict in which the rules and loyalties shift abruptly and without warning. But even in a world gone mad, one course of action remains eminently sane: survival. Told with bitingly dark humor and a deep tenderness, April Fool's Day is both a devastating political satire and a razor-sharp parody of war. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
