Books by Louise Steinman
The Crooked Mirror
A literary memoir that explores the growing Polish-Jewish reconciliation movement
The Souvenir
Historically war literature has been by and about men at the front. As described in the previous edition, "The Souvenir presents the female side of the equation: a legacy of war stories left inadvertently to a daughter by a father who only wished to forget." At turns poetic and journalistic, Steinman's cross-generational memoir asks vital questions about the impact of war and views the fallout of a soldier's secrets by one daughter's probing light.
