"In prose at once sensitive and exacting, Alex Krieger captures the immigrant’s enduring double vision: a heartfelt embrace of an adopted country coupled with eyewitness clarity to its contradictions. The result is a luminous meditation on belonging that honors both allegiance and origin." — Pam Y. Eddinger Ph.D. President, Bunker Hill Community College, Boston

"Alex Krieger’s engrossing memoir offers a timely reminder of the value that immigrants have brought to this country. It’s a coming-of-age story that parallels America’s own postwar coming of age, rife with social complexities but also extraordinary opportunities that take a boy born in Vilnius, Lithuania to Poland, Israel, Chicago, Cornell, and ultimately Harvard. I recommend Greenhorn to anyone seeking inspiration from stories of how family, higher education, architecture, and urbanism have all shaped – and will all continue to shape – this country’s civic and cultural fabric." — Sarah M. Whiting: Dean, and Josep Lluís Sert Professor of Architecture, Harvard University Graduate School of Design

"A humbling journey through the challenges of starting life anew. An intimate recounting of one man's immigration journey. A globe-spanning journey from immigrant to eminent." — Todd Medema, author of How to Surf a Hurricane

"[Krieger] challenges us to see possibilities in the future, a refreshing change from much of the media we’re exposed to these days. Whether you choose to read Greenhorn alone or share it with a book group, it’s hard not to feel a resurgence of pride and determination to be the Americans that Krieger believes we can be." — Independent Book Review

"Krieger’s voice is informed, candid, and frequently humorous. He’s willing to examine family mysteries, early social awkwardness, professional ambition, and the personal costs of maintaining simultaneous careers in teaching and practice. [...] Greenhorn ultimately presents a life built through adaptation, teaching, design, and service. It’s a substantial, humane record of how one immigrant’s desire to belong matured into a lifelong commitment to improving the places and communities around him." — Literary Titan

"The writing is beautifully crafted, and readers will be drawn in completely to sharing this author’s life story and his many, many achievements along the journey. I was impressed most of all by his understanding of the immigrant question, whatever strata of society those immigrants may come from." — Readers' Favorite
