"Of all the Ukrainians who have helped me, however, none has been as generous, eager, and, finally, as instrumental as Alex Dunai in L'viv, who for nearly ten years now has been my right-hand man in the project of which this book is the culmination."

"Alex's vast knowledge of Jewish and Ukrainian culture immeasurably enriched, and, indeed, made possible my fascinating expedition to Clarice Lispector's birthplace."

"My thanks to Alex Dunai, an exemplary historian and guide to Ukraine."
