Sinopse

In this major tour de force, John Guzlowski traces the arc of one of the millions of immigrant families of America, in this case survivors of the maelstrom of World War II. Watch the book trailer at www.polww2.com/EchoesTrailer.

Raw, eloquent, nuanced, intimate - Guzlowski illuminates the many faces of war, the toll it takes on innocent civilians, and the ways in which the trauma echoes down through generations.

His narrative structure mirrors the fractured dislocation experienced by war refugees. Through a haunting collage of jagged fragments - poems, prose and prose poems, frozen moments of time, sometimes dreamlike and surreal, other times realistic and graphic - Guzlowski weaves a powerful story with impacts at levels both obvious and subtle. The result is a deeper, more visceral understanding than could have been achieved through descriptive narrative alone.

This is the story of Guzlowski's family: his mother and father, survivors of the war, taken as slave laborers by the Germans; his sister and himself, born soon after the war in displaced persons camps in Germany; the family's first days in America and later their neighbors in America, some dysfunctional and lost, some mean, some caring and kind; and the relationships between and among them all.

As Guzlowski unfolds the story backward through time, he seduces us into taking the journey with him. Along the way the transformative power of the creative process becomes apparent. Guzlowski's writing helps him uncouple from the trauma of the past and at the same time provides a pathway for acceptance and reconciliation with his parents.

Ultimately, then, this is a story of healing.
