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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePazinski, Piotr:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePiotr Pázinski\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Warsaw in 1973.
