story of Part I, the author pokes fun at a young woman who had her
head shaved by members of the Resistance. This was the revenge
reserved for women who had slept with Germans during the war. The
first fourteen (14) pieces are about: Growing up in the Old
Country. Included are: Stories about Patriots and cowardly
Collaborators, accidental Death in the Boxing Ring, adventures in
the Military Police, etc. The 12 stories in Part II are about:
Encounters in Canada, i.e. Dying of Thirst in the Brewery, Quebec's
ludicrous Language Laws, On becoming a Grandfather, Remembering
Mordecai Richler, etc. The four pieces in Part III recount the
author's return trip to Europe in December 2005. It includes a
short stay in Paris, several weeks in the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg, and a one day visit to Bastogne, Belgium, to see once
more the famous war monument, The Mardasson.
