In Drohobycz, Drohobycz, one of our most highly regarded Polish writers, Henryk Grynberg, delivers thirteen authentie tales of the Holocaust, including the riveting title story, which reconstructs the assassination of the celebrated writer and artist Bruno Schulz. In each of these stories, it is not only the devastation of the Holocaust that resonates so clearly, but also the trauma that endures among its victims and survivors today. Coing beyond the age-old question of individual crime and punishment, Drohobycz, Drohobycz explores the concepts of collective guilt and the impunity of the twentieth century's two most genocidal political systems: Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union. With its profound investigation of bravery, baseness, and the vulnerability of human beings, this incredible collection is a critically acclaimed and highly anticipated contribution to contemporary fiction.
"Henryk Grynberg is one of the most important and articulate witnesses to the Holocaust.
His writings convey to today's audience the meaning of these exceptionally dark times as few other documents and literary works have managed to do."
—Jan T. Gross, author of Neighbors
"With every new book Grynberg confirms his original and powerful literary talent....
Drohobycz, Drohobycz is a major literary event."
-Ryszard Kapuscinski, author of The Shadow of the Sun.
