Now thirteen years into its making, Harvy Simkovits's enthralling memoir series Just Lassen to Me! continues into its second volume. It's a furtherance of the true, enthralling family and family business tale behind the big businessman, Johnny Simkovits, and his disaffected wife and feuding adult sons. Book Two: Survivor Teachings takes a deeper dive into the makings of Johnny, how he built his business and amassed his fortune. Johnny gets caught by the taxman for creative but illicit accounting practices, but survives to scheme another day. His second son, Harvy, tries to separate himself from his dad's dubious dealings, but continues to be pulled back into his father's finagling and family's feuding. Can Harvy reconcile, repudiate, and rectify his mom's painful burdens and patriarch's illegitimate legacy? Written with honesty, humor, and humility, this is a continuation of a first-generation son's story of surviving his turbulent family and survivor father.
Is it possible to admire a man’s accomplishments but abhor what he stands for, to seek his blessing but spurn his legacy? What if that man is your father?Twelve years in the making, Harvy Simkovits’s memoir Just Lassen to Me! is a true, enthralling family and family business tale. WWII survivor, escapee from Soviet communism, and Canadian immigrant, Johnny Simkovits, amassed a fortune through hard work, gutsy moves, and devious means. Harvy’s Jewish mother, Anna, hid in Budapest during the war using false Christian papers and had her own unsettling stories of family survival and strife. Their son, Harvy, enticed to follow in his father’s finagling footsteps, works to reconcile, repudiate, and rectify his mom’s painful burdens and dad's dubious legacy. Filled with honest, humor, and humility, this is a son’s story of surviving his turbulent family and survivor father.
The third volume of the Just Lassen to Me! series brings more twists, turns, and tumult in Harvy Simkovits' relationship with his finagling entrepreneurial father and afflicted immigrant family. New players will come onto the scene who try to help heal the family and quiet the commotion. Inroads are fashioned, but will their efforts provide success and security for the Simkovits clan? Will Johnny clean up his ways, becoming an upstanding husband, father, and businessman? Or will the family suffer more losses through Johnny’s unashamed shenanigans, hurtful ways, and blatant trickery? I think you might guess the answer.
