Rimon attorney, Piotr Siemion<\/a>, recently authored the novel, \u201cBella, ciao<\/em>\u201d published by Wydawnictwo Filtry<\/em>. The fiction novel which is set in a Russia-Poland conflict zone has received a stellar five out of six-star review from Polish news weekly, Polityka.<\/p>\n

Justyna Sobolewska of Polityka (Polityka Weekly no 20, 2022)<\/em> commented on the novel:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis novel was completed before the Ukrainian war, but its author Piotr Siemion (who also penned such novels as “Low Meadows” <\/em>and “Finimondo”<\/em>) clearly was way ahead of his time. Admittedly, at first all indications in the book point towards WWII in the Pomorze seaside district, sometime in the 1940s, but the novel\u2019s reality soon becomes a universe of its own. A small guerilla detachment (a \u201cpocket army\u201d for its commander, Col. Szest) is roaming the back-country forests, more or less without aim. It is not entirely clear who\u2019s fighting whom: we see conflicted Polish factions, some local Germans, as well as some looting Russian troops. Same as today, in a way. The reasons for all this commotion are not clear and, while the characters keep using words like \u201chonor\u201d and \u201chomeland\u201d, they keep on killing others, just because they can. Their war is a \u201cmarch through a meat grinder\u201d, in Siemion\u2019s convincing vision. Nor is it a male-only game: one of the fighters is a young girl, Spinka, regretful and bitter after having been attracted by the war\u2019s fake splendor. She\u2019s seeing clearly now that their lot is not any kind of \u201chonor\u201d but rather \u201cmuch salt in the wounds, a boot into the groin, a shot of fear into the heart.\u201d Siemion\u2019s novel is perfectly knit, exquisitely suspenseful, rushing forward only to slow down when needed. The author is a master stylist; he likes sly quotations and keeps on delivering his own memorable sentences, such as: \u201cThe hardest thing to swallow is when a fresh new death overwhelms our choking senses. But decay with its rot is a very different thing: a series of languid, phased passages, slowly bringing us comfort and peace.\u201d All these realities are rendered with utmost, artful precision, so that we can see, hear, and even smell them, complete with their odor of blood, sweat, and stink. While Siemion\u2019s novel leads the reader deep into the war\u2019s assembled horrors, there remains in it some hope for its characters and their world. At all times, the reader\u2019s emotions are artfully kept in check\u201d.<\/p>\n
