I'd Like to Say Sorry, but There's No One to Say Sorry To

 I'd Like to Say Sorry, but There's No One to Say Sorry To by Mikołaj Grynberg, 160 pages.

Mikołaj Grynberg is a psychologist and photographer who has spent decades collecting and publishing oral histories of Polish Jews, and all of that context is extremely clear in this first foray into fiction. These stories are all extremely short, generally around three to five pages, and told in the first person. The speakers are extremely varied, from anti-Semitic Poles to the children of Holocaust survivors. All of the stories feel intensely grounded in reality, and work together to form a wide and richly textured portrait of Jewish experiences in Poland. 

I was extremely impressed with this book. I found the writing subtle and impactful, and was impressed by the depths of works that were so extremely short. Despite it's very small size this is not a light book, but I would say it is absolutely worth reading.
