Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Finalist for the National Jewish Book AwardsFinalist, National Translation Award in ProseAn exquisitely original collection of darkly funny stories that explore the panorama of Jewish experience in contemporary Poland, from a world-class contemporary writer FlightsMikolaj Grynberg is a psychologist and photographer who has spent years collecting and publishing oral histories of Polish Jews. In his first work of fictiona book that has been widely praised by critics and was shortlisted for Polands top literary prizeGrynberg recrafts those histories into little jewels, fictionalized short stories with the ring of truth.Both biting and knowing, Id Like to Say Sorry, but Theres No One to Say Sorry To takes the form of first-person vignettes, through which Grynberg explores the daily lives and tensions within Poland between Jews and gentiles haunted by the Holocaust and its continuing presence.In Unnecessary Trouble, a grandmother discloses on her deathbed that she is Jewish; she does not want to die without her family knowing. What is passed on to the family is fear and the struggle of what to do with this information. In Cacophony, Jewish identity is explored through names, as Miron and his son Jurek demonstrate how heritage is both accepted and denied. In My Five Jews, a non-Jewish narrator remembers five interactions with her Jewish countrymen, and her own anti-Semitism, ruefully noting that perhaps she was wrong and should apologize, but no one is left to say Im sorry to.Each of the thirty-one stories is a dazzling and haunting mini-monologue that highlights a different facet of modern Polands complex and difficult relationship with its Jewish past.
