From two short stories and fragments of others comprising basically
an outline by the author, grows a masterpiece--after 14-months, a
most lucid novel, perhaps the best account of a cross-cultural form
of intolerance, in historical-fiction in a long time. Based on
actual events, "Stay Down, Old Abram, " the author paints two
streets, one white, one black--in this tragic game where moods and
friction bring out the roots of deeply idealistic rejection and
suppressed tendencies, all embedded in the narrative.
One might even conclude, this story is not all that much
different than what took place in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, outside
of Baghdad recently, although in a thinner angle: yet in both cases
we see undisciplined soldiers working in sensitive spots. The time
and place is West Germany, mid-l970's.

"I had read some of Dennis Siluk's books and I liked them very
much, the stories and topics touched in each one. I could say that
reading them they carry you inside the story and you begin to dream
and dream as if you were part of the story."
