by Greg Swiatek (Author)

The search for identity amid a clash of cultures and generations marks Greg Swiatek's new novel, Kaisertown which is set in the real life environment of Buffalo, New York's vibrant Polish/American Eastside. When Tina Kaszpczyk's raped and murdered body is found in a field known locally as Okie Diamond, the tightly knit Polish community that was her home is turned upside down. Although domestic violence, drunkenness and street fighting were not uncommon nothing like this had ever happened before. And, although the police were quick to nab a suspect, they were a long way from solving the crime.Greg Swiatek has set the murder within a collage of interesting and vibrant characters who individually attempt to accommodate themselves to the changing world around them. Trapped between two cultures each finds his/her own way of coping. Some such as Jason and Dorothy rebel; rebel against the Church, their parents and neighbors before finding true, redeeming love. Others like Nelly Ostraski escape through pain and acceptance of their lot in life. Jason's cousin and best friend, Larry, has his own unique release after a stint in Viet Nam. Dorothy's brother Timmy wreaks havoc wherever he goes, all the while Pani Khula weeps and Barney, the saloon keeper, perseveres.Join these characters and others and take a trip back through Kaisertown.
