In a series of short sto­ries set in Poland dur­ing the 1930’s, Buki­et imag­ines a world that might have been his own if not for the Shoah. His top­ics are var­ied and uni­ver­sal: first love, grow­ing up, and try­ing to get along with peo­ple who are dif­fer­ent. This is an enjoy­able set of sto­ries which res­onates all the more as we real­ize that most of the dynam­ic souls just like these per­ished in the Holocaust.
