Who I Am: Lives Told in Kitchen Polish (PAHA Books)

Who I Am presents a collection of columns by the distinguished Polish American poet, novelist, and essayist John Guzlowski, originally published in the newspaper Dziennik Związkowy, the organ of the Polish National Alliance. These pieces are by turns revealing, affectionate, provocative, and moving. Nostalgic but never mawkish or dull, they describe the joys and trials of coming to terms with the complexities of Polish identity during the course of a lifetime in the New World, providing a loving but sharp-eyed portrait of the author’s immigrant parents, survivors of the Second World War, and the rich but complicated legacy they left their son. In intensely personal terms, the author tells their story, and his, but many readers will recognize themselves, or those they care for, or remember, or mourn, in his telling as well, so that the story of one family can speak for a generation.
