About this author

I am a writer/translator living in Toronto, Canada. At present, I am focusing my attention mostly on translating the works of my late father, Theodore Odrach. I have opted to act as his voice on Goodreads.
Wave of Terror, published by Academy Chicago Publishers, is my father's first novel to appear in English: Stalin has just come to power, the world has turned up-side down, and there's tyranny at every corner. Wave of Terror provides a microcosmic examination of the new Soviet order at the start of WWII. (Available most places online or check out your local library.)
