Overview

TRUE TALES From Here and There is a collection of stories, some biographical, some autobiographical; all of them having been safely stored in the memory bank of the author for years. He was inspired by his father's adventure in Russia and specifically in Siberia during World War I, the so-called war to end all wars. One of the stories Prelude to Massacre which happened over half century-ago, is a personal account of that fateful day of October 25, 1956, the beginning of the Hungarian revolt against the suppression by Russia, the memories of which have plagued the author with feelings of guilt ever since. Some will make you laugh; some will bring unbidden tears; but all of them will give you insight into ordinary people doing extraordinary things just to cope with everyday life. He hopes you will enjoy every one of them. REVIEW Over the past sixty some odd years, Gabe Kubichek has done quite a bit of traveling and met untold numbers of people, each with a story to tell. He has kept the best of those stories close to his heart and has now put them down in writing to share with the rest of us. True Tales from Here and There contains a lot of those precious memories and is more than worth the reading. It's not a spellbinding, can't-put-it-down page turner. It is a trip down memory lane with Mr. Kubichek that you can take your time with. It is a collection of short stories about Mr. Kubichek's family -- his father, grandfather and brother in particular; his friends and even acquaintances met only once; but especially his own experiences growing up in Hungary during the Russian occupation. Savor these real-life experiences in one sitting, or take your time to enjoy each story a day at atime. The choice is up to the reader. Trisha Moore, Reviewer Midwest Book Review
