Not For Women Only: Short Stories for a Lazy Day

Not For Women Only: Short Stories for a Lazy DayBy: Albert ZygierAlbert Zygier is a retired graphic designer with a passion for writing short stories as well as painting landscapes and still life in water soluble oils. (Much easier for clean up.)It wasn't till he joined a writers group that he decided to put his stories together for a book. His stories are about romance, adventure, history, and a war. They are sad and poignant and funny. They are about how people meet and how they fall in love. We have civilians, we have soldiers, we have young and old.Zygier was born before WWII in Poland (Poproszę kanapkę Kielbasa) and when the Nazis invaded, he and his parents escaped into Russia (Borsht pozhalusta?) From there, we were sent to an intriguing little country called Tajikistan. (Iltimos bitta choy?)In New York City's School of Industrial Art, he majored in cartooning and after graduation joined the US Army where he spent a year and a half in Korea, (Kimchi, anyone?) there, he contributed a number of cartoons for the local Army Newspaper the Seoul Times. For the rest of his tour he was assigned to the 1st Armored Division, in Ft Polk, La. (Shrimp and Grits y'all?)Albert Zygier lives in New York City (Bagels and lox.) with Ellen, his wife of 56 years, a daughter Roni, and granddaughter Annie who one day will be a Broadway Star.
