About the Book

Seven anecdotes about two Canadian neighbors in the world-famous city of Niagara Falls, one is a born Canadian the other is an immigrant. One is a conservative, and the other is liberal. One washes his beloved cars - his got two -the other plants petunias and geraniums. They hardly agree on anything but live together in peace as inseparable good friends. Plus, a generous selection of short stories, some humorous, others thought-provoking.

About the Author :
Born and educated in Hungary, Graduated from the College of the Theatrical and Film Arts in Budapest as dramaturgist. (Theatrical equivalent of the book editor) His involvement in the 57 revolutions made his stay in the country impossible. To avoid imminent retribution, he left for Austria at 56' on Christmas night carrying his eighteen-month-old daughter. He settled in Canada. Without any marketable skills and no talent for languages, he became a perfect example of a "Jack of all trades" and made a decent living. Soon he realized writing in English was not a choice, he kept writing and publishing fourteen books in his mother tongue and published in Hungary with modest success. As a last chance for fame, he wrote and directed a short dramatic film for the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and won the "Best in Category" award in 1964 at the San Francisco International Film Festival, then the Salt Mine. With the opportunity and the means offered by the internet, for eighteen years he edited and published a highly respected online magazine; the Kaláka Literary Magazine for the Hungarian progressive literary left. He is 94 years old, living now in the Upper Canada Lodge with his daughter Nora in peace, happy with his life, well over the "best before" expiration date. Still working. Two novels are in the last stage of being published, and he is now writing a new one, well into the third chapter.
