Jonas Mekas' diaries have an aching honesty, puckish humor and quiet nobility of character. -Phillip LopateI was enormously moved by it. Many readers curious about the early years of this seminal avant-garde filmmaker will discover here a much more universal story: that of the emigrant who can never go back, and whose solitariness in the New World is emblematic of the human condition.
In 1944, Mekas and his younger brother Adolfas had to flee Lithuania. -Allen GinsbergLegendary filmmaker Jonas Mekas actually came to filmmaking relatively late in life, and his path to New York was a difficult one. They were interned for eight months in a labor camp in Elmshorn.
Even after the war ended, Mekas was prevented from returning to his native Lithuania by the Soviet occupation. Classed as a "displaced person," he lived in DP camps in Wiesbaden and Kassel for years.
