<\/div>\n\n\n\n

East Central European Center, the Harriman Institute, Literary Translation at Columbia, the Polish Cultural Institute New York, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, and the Polish Ministry of Culture invite for a book talk by author Miko\u0142aj \u0141ozi\u0144ski<\/strong> and translator Antonia Lloyd-Jones<\/strong>. Susan Bernofsky<\/strong> and Ronald Meyer <\/strong>will serve as discussants. The event will be moderated by Ma\u0142gorzata Mazurek<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he returned from America penniless, Nathan Stramer still daydreams of a better life as he struggles to make ends meet back the small Polish town of Tarn\u00f3w. Raising 6 children with his wife Rywka, he chases hare-brained schemes to make money while she fantasizes about a trip to the seaside. Crammed into a 2-room apartment on down-at-heel Goldhammer Street, the family gets by on very little, and everyone has to pitch into Nathan\u2019s latest ventures, including an ill-fated Stramer family caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the years pass, their children begin to take steps into a changing world. Rudek, the eldest, sets his passions aside for a practical job; Rena embarks on an affair with a married man, and Hesio and Salek become ever more involved with Communism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Nathan and Rywka try to hold the centre of their raucous family life together, national conflicts begin to escalate in Europe, and sinister forces creep into the Stramers\u2019 world that they don\u2019t yet understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bursting with humor and pathos, My Name is Stramer<\/em> is a beautiful, loving evocation of a vanished world. Internationally acclaimed as one of Poland\u2019s foremost writers, Miko\u0142aj \u0141ozi\u0144ski tells the tragic story of the interwar years through the ordinary triumphs and struggles of a sprawling Polish-Jewish family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
