I'd Like to Say Sorry, But There's No One to Say Sorry to (2022)
Mikolaj Grynberg
"Mikolaj Grynberg's characters yearn for connection, though the relationships with their family, their people, and their country, are fraught. One of the most brutal of Grynberg's vignettes describes the casual inherited anti-Semitism of children. But what becomes of these children when their parents, late in life, reveal that they are Jewish? How do they make sense of who they are and where they belong in the world? An absolutely gripping, emotionally exhausting book. Highly recommended."
