Antoni Gronowicz, one of the most prolific and famous Polish American writers of his time, is seldom read now because of the controversies and legal issues that developed over his last two books, God’s Broker, a biography of John Paul II, and Garbo, a biography of the film actress. Gronowicz did not have the access to these two figures that he pretended to have. Instead, both books were seen to be almost entirely fictionalized. This article on Gronowicz argues that despite this, there is value in taking another look at these two works and the writing about Poland that Gronowicz published for almost five decades
