Publisher Description

A Vintage Shorts "Short Story Month" Selection

The old man and the old woman always dreamed the same dreams. Everyone in Celia's town knows the couple, married sixty years, with wrinkled skin down to their wrists—but one summer, while Celia takes care of her father, refusing to join her mother on the next leg of their concentration camp museum tour, the old man and the old woman start prophesying, and the town is forever changed.

"Dreaming in Polish" invites the reader to look at the world through Aimee Bender's unique funhouse vision, a world twisted on its axis yet as gloriously tangible as real life.

A selection from her debut collection The Girl in the Flammable Skirt. An eBook short.
