Gus Flesor came to the United States from Greece in 1901. His
journey led him to Tuscola, Illinois, where he learned the
confectioner's trade and opened a business that still stands on
Main Street. Sweet Greeks sets the story of Gus Flesor's life as an
immigrant in a small town within the larger history of Greek
migration to the Midwest. Ann Flesor Beck's charming personal
account recreates the atmosphere of her grandfather's candy kitchen
with its odors of chocolate and popcorn and the comings-and-goings
of family members. "The Store" represented success while anchoring
the business district of Gus's chosen home. It also embodied the
Midwest emigre experience of chain migration, immigrant networking,
resistance and outright threats by local townspeople, food-related
entrepreneurship, and tensions over whether later generations would
take over the business. An engaging blend of family memoir and
Midwest history, Sweet Greeks tells how Greeks became candy makers
to the nation, one shop at a time.
