Requests:  0 Summary:  "'There comes a time in your life when the past decides to run you down,' Mark Slouka writes in this heartbreaking and soul-searching memoir about one man's attempt to reckon with the past. Born in Czechoslovakia, Mark Slouka's parents survived the Nazis only to have to escape the Communist purges after the war. Smuggled out of their own country, the newlyweds joined a tide of refugees moving from Innsbruck to Sydney to New York, dragging with them a history of blood and betrayal that their son would be born into. From World War I to the present, Slouka pieces together a remarkable story of refugees and war, displacement and denial--admitting into evidence memories, dreams, stories, the lies we inherit and the lies we tell--in an attempt to reach his mother, the enigmatic figure at the center of the labyrinth. Her story, the revelation of her life-long burden and the forty-year love affair that might have saved her show the way out of the maze."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 813.54 Slouka Sl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.54 Slouka Sl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Biography B Slouka Sl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
