I'm Still Alive

A wryly funny yet profoundly poignant story of one man’s incredible life over the course of a nine-decade span of human history that at times was tumultuous and cataclysmic, during which our entire world order was radically changed, arguably both politically and socially, and not once but repeatedly, right to the present day. In some respects it is a story of just trying to make it through times of strife and upheaval, and realizing that no matter what happens, survival is the foremost objective. Yet in other respects the book represents an affirmation that family is the ultimate place for a person to be. In addition, it is also a potent discussion of family relationships, particularly father-son relationships, and an examination of how those relationships are inevitably forged by our individual life experiences, both good and bad.
