Lucky Me
Everyone called him lucky. He’s not so sure.
Greg grew up in Rotten Eggs, a Warsaw neighborhood known more for trouble than opportunity. Poverty, deep family secrets, and political pressure threatened to crush him, but he kept pushing. When the regime closed in, he fled—first to America, then further still—determined to outrun the voices that told him who he could and couldn’t be. Determined to build his own fate.
Or so it seems. Or so he tells it.

Triptych of Four
Paul Lish believes the world suffers from commonism: our compulsion to label, judge, and mistake assumption for truth.
Across three interwoven stories drawn from his experience—a man who “unmasks” strangers, a rebellion born of misunderstanding, and a wartime past long buried—he uncovers how easily "common knowledge" can harden into prejudice.
Curiosity
Spanning decades of writing, this collection offers a portrait of an author in formation, from my first childhood verses to early experiments in voice and style, and finally to fully realized short stories.
​
Selected less for theme than for the shape of an artistic journey, these pieces reveal how curiosity and observation grow into character, and how character becomes story.
