2: Terry Gross talks with Croatian writer DUBRAVKA (doo-BRAV-kah) UGRESIC (ooh-GREH-sich) about her book Have a Nice Day: From the Balkan War to the American Dream. Part memoir, part short story collection, the book chronicles the writer's transplanted life as a lecturer in Middletown, Connecticut, a world away from the brutal Balkan war. Using the form of a personal "dictionary," URGESIC pieces together a world and identity from fragmentary headings like "Couch Potato", "Refugee", and "Harassment."REV 1: Rock Critic KEN TUCKER reviews John Prine's new CD "Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings" (Ohboy Records).
