This review is from: My Two Polish Grandfathers: And Other Essays on the Imaginative Life (Hardcover)
I love the premise - a memoir in essay form - and the gentle, affectionate way the author uses to inform us about his background and speculate on his ultimate career in architecture. A well-examined life, to be sure. Being Polish outside Poland places his family in one of the many 'outsider' tales that form some of the best literature. The book reminded me a tiny bit of Ewa Hoffman's "Lost In Translation" though Rybczinski's attitude is much more positive.
He's inspired me to take another look at my own Polish Grandpas ...and Grandmas too! Bardzo dobrze! Linda Ciulik Wisniewski, Author of Off Kilter: A Woman's Journey to Peace with Scoliosis, Her Mother, and Her Polish Heritage |
