Tales of Grabowski
The Owl & Other Stories
This is the first collection of the stories of John Auerbach to appear in English, the language in which they were written. Many were originally published in magazines, including Commentary, The Boston Globe Magazine and others. They draw upon the themes running through Auerbach's life: his years at sea, on a kibbutz in Israel, as an alienated man in America, his own and others' survival of the war and Holocaust.
'The Owl' was winner of the PEN/UNESCO award of 1993
