Welcome to Litsy!

Each of these have sentimental connections to my husband. Nowhere Man was the first book he ever gave me; his lengthy inscription is a gift in itself. For an anniversary, he gave me a copy of Pilgrim's Progress once owned by Matilda Dodge Wilson, a Detroit-area legend of a woman. And the Lane book was one he almost bought and then didn't because "I remembered at the last minute that you hate her." True love, folks. ? #3Books #ThatWereGiftedToMe

On the 1,001 books list. Jozef Pronek is from Sarajevo who left to visit Chicago in 1992. War breaks out in his hometown. He has a series of global adventures. The final episode illustrates to us what it means to be a Nowhere Man. The author‘s use of similes shows us the caliber of his writing. An engrossing narrative, warmth and humor. A protagonist who provokes an exhilarating sense of seeing everything new again. A bit choppy in some areas.
