If you can put down this book... well, it's not going to happen... Zavistovski... has lived a life so dangerous, thrilling, and unpredictable that he qualifies as a picaresque hero along the lines of Lazarillo de Tormes or Oliver Twist.
— James M. Keller, author, program annotator for the New York Philharmonic, and former staff writer for The New Yorker
Leshek Zavistovski's searing memoir is not just the testament of a young man's survival... it powerfully shows how Leshek transcended the extreme circumstances of his existence... a brilliantly crafted love story to the human spirit (his!).
— Bruce C. McKenna, writer, Band of Brothers; Emmy-Award-winning creator, writer, executive producer, The Pacific
His is a path of tremendous, movie-worthy, epic struggle—interspersed with hilarious episodes throughout. I was agape from the beginning to the end of this book.
— Susan Graham, internationally-renowned opera star
Leshek Zavistovski has led a remarkable life and he writes about it vividly and passionately. His survival should be the stuff of legends.
— Jerry Adler, Senior Editor, Newsweek (retired)
Children & Fish Don't Talk is excellent and polished.
— Connie Martinson, writer, host of syndicated television show Connie Martinson Talks Books
Thank you, Collected Works Bookstore, for hosting a tremendous event, and to our dear friend, mezzo-soprano Susan Graham for your beautiful introduction! The store was filled beyond capacity, with people spilling out the front door, for Leshek's reading and the Q&A.
A huge thank you as well to everyone who attended. We had friends fly into town from as far away as Japan and New York, and met scores of people who just happened to stop by the store and stayed for the event. We're so grateful to everyone for their support! 
Stay tuned for news about our upcoming events in New York and Los Angeles.
