Bob Bozic’s riveting memoir So, What Happens Is... chronicles the journey from his tumultuous childhood—the offspring of Serbian immigrants—to his challenging return to Serbia and his effort to reclaim his roots. Bozic’s life unfolds in the same staccato style mirroring the fast-paced tales he once spun as a legendary bartender in Soho, New York. His narrative is a rollercoaster of high and lows involving disparate subjects such as prizefighting, smuggling and some major brushes with the law. Yet amidst this chaos there are moments of clarity and transformation as he navigates marriage and fatherhood. Through humor and poignancy, Bozic’s memoir invites readers to ponder the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of redemption.
