There are a number of books written about David-Horodok, ranging from history to memoir to fiction.
David’s Castle : Davidgrodek : Saga in the Pripet Marshes by Dov Biegun, Poets’ and Painters’ Press, 1982. From the forward by Anna Biegun: “These stories were written fast, spontaneously, and they issued from Dov’s pen all in a piece, with little or no revision. He would write them as the mood took him, have them typed, and then they were laid aside as he turned to more urgent matters. He intended to continue further so that the circle would be complete, so that one should see what eventually happened to the youngsters whose childhood began in David-Horodok.” Available in English online at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f4n2q4i9enh53cf/castle.pdf?e=1&dl=0
