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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold with bitingly dark humor and a deep tenderness, \u003cem\u003eApril Fool's Day\u003c\/em\u003e is both a devastating political satire and a razor-sharp parody of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josip Novakovich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.23w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060583989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNovakovich, Josip:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJosip Novakovich's stories have appeared in many publications, including \u003cem\u003eThe Paris Review, TriQuarterly, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePloughshares\u003c\/em\u003e.
