    <![CDATA[NOTHING IN THE WORLD is a war story unlike any other -- a dark, surreal, surprisingly funny and offbeat fable of madness, innocence and survival.    Here is the story of Josko Banovic, a lonely schoolboy who, with the outbreak of fighting between Serbia and his native Croatia, reveals himself to be a gifted sniper and becomes an unwitting war hero.    But when his camp is bombed, Josko is gravely wounded. He wanders away from the ruins to search for his sister, and for another girl whose mysterious, siren-like call guides him from village to village. Starving, exhausted and hallucinating, Josko must make his way through the front lines and back, confronting enemy soldiers, distrustful civilians, jumpy military police, and his own faltering mind.    Drawing comparisons to the fierce, visionary writing of Denis Johnson and Cormac McCarthy, Roy Keseys book debut is a colorful triumph of human endurance set against the panoramic landscape of the Adriatic coast and Yugoslav countryside.]]>
