The Unmade World

Set against the backdrop of political and cultural turmoil in the US and Eastern Europe, The Unmade World explores the intertwined lives of an American journalist and a Polish petty criminal over a decade. Following a tragic encounter in 2006 that leaves the journalist's family dead, both men grapple with profound grief and guilt, leading to drastic changes in their lives. The novel intertwines themes of personal loss with broader cultural and political issues, including the corruption of college sports, immigration challenges, and the effects of armed conflict, all while maintaining a nuanced, nonpartisan perspective.
