A wonderful memoir which I found very moving. It sparked a great conversation with my wife, a Hungarian immigrant, about her own family history during the world wars.

Loved this when I read it last year -- highly recommended even if you don't have an attachment to Prince of Persia.

Relendo o feed do @jmechner.bsky.social sobre a criação do Prince of Persia, ele diz que as vendas foram ruins no início e que falaram a ele: "É um ótimo jogo, mas a embalagem é horrível".
Isso me faz pensar que Americano não gosta de capas boas. Olha só que capa linda!!! +

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
