Plums, Paprika & Ghosts: Our Trip to The Austro-Hungarian Empire

by A Sidransky, Jake Sidransky

Award winning author A. J. Sidransky's first foray into non-fiction, Plums, Paprika & Ghosts tells his own story.  Deeply personal, Sidransky explores with his adult son, the stories and experiences of his family's life in Europe before and during World War II.  He examines the truths that led him to write his novels, Forgiving Maximo Rothman, The Interpreter, and Incident at San Miguel .  For those familiar with his work, Plums, Paprika & Ghosts will illuminate them.  For those unfamiliar, this fascinating memoir may lead you to them.  Most of all, it may compel you to seek your own historical truths and to visit the "room where it happened."
