The story of a man born on April Fool's Day in a small town in Croatia who gets caught up in a senseless system - thrown out of medical school, he ends up in a labor camp breaking rocks for two years. What follows is "both a devastating political satire and a razor-sharp parody of war", to quote the jacket cover. While a bit difficult to read, it is quite an interesting book. I found this in a secondhand store on April Fool's Day, just by accident, so how could I not buy it and read it?
