In this debut novel by the Polish writer Piotr P zinski, a young man takes a train to a small town outside of Warsaw to visit a boarding house populated by the last generation of Polish Holocaust survivors. When his grandmother was alive, he had spent a great deal of time at this boarding house, and now he returns, as if to get one last glimpse of the past--to look at old faces and think old thoughts. P zinski's narrative is at once dreamlike and hard-nosed, and it is structured with the haunting simplicity of a fairy tale. \u003ci\u003eThe Boarding House\u003c\/i\u003e is a meditation on the sad, sometimes terrifying moment when living memory becomes history and the living become the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.4 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 14, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42166241755271,"sku":"9781628972726","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c1f55d474c908160915fac9bc5c54e48.webp?v=1733319436","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-boarding-house-paperback-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
