ABSTRACT
Alex Boya is a man of two worlds. Although he was born in Bulgaria, on the heels of the collapse of the ruling Communist Party, he has lived in Montreal since his family immigrated when he was two years old. So, on the one hand he carries what he calls “dispersed letters, objects and old photos of a time just before my birth,” yet he’s also a typical North American child whose closest experience of conflict was playing with Star Wars toys.
