Dasvidaniya by W L Liberman
Mordecai Goldman is a man born of chaos. His life changes when Simmy, his little brother, comes home with a knife stuck in his shoulder. After turbulent years in a Christian high school in Poland and his military service, Mordecai finds himself manning a tank for the Soviets in the Second World War. After he fights his way to Germany, Mordecai falls in love with his future wife and emigrates to Canada. Saying goodbye to everyone he loves, Mordecai moves on with his life and toward the inevitable conclusion that awaits us all. But will his life end like it began: in violence? This story is based on true events, and Mordecai Goldman was a real person. This is the story of a man tough, passionate and stubborn - to the end.
W.L. Liberman believes in the power of story telling but is not a fan of the often excruciating psychic pain required to bring stories to life. Truthfully, years of effort and of pure, unadulterated toil is demanded. Not to sugar coat it, of course, writing is a serious endeavor. It is plain, hard work. If you've slogged away at construction work, at lumber jacking, delivery work, forest rangering, sandwich making, truck driving, house painting, among other things, as I have, writing is far and beyond more rigorous and exhausting. At the end of a long, often tedious, usually mind cracking process, some individual you don't know pronounces judgment and that judgment is usually a resounding 'No'. This business of writing is about perseverance and stick-to-it-iveness. When you get knocked down and for most of us, this happens frequently, you take a moment to reflect, to self-pity, then get back at it. You need dogged determination and a thick skin to survive. And an alternate source of income. W.L. Liberman is currently the author of nine novels, eight graphic novels and a children's storybook. He is the founding editor and publisher of TEACH Magazine; www.teachmag.com, and has worked as a television producer and on-air commentator. He holds an Honours BA from the University of Toronto in some subject or other and a Masters in Creative Writing from De Montfort University in the UK. He is married, currently lives in Toronto (although wishes to be elsewhere) and is father to three grown sons.
