About The Author

Born in Warsaw in 1960, Andrzej Stasiuk has risen to become one of the most important and interesting writers at work in Eastern Europe today. Author of over a dozen books and winner of many prizes, he came to writing in an unusual way: in the early 1980s, he deserted the army and spent a year and a half in prison for it. Afterwards he wrote a collection of short stories, The Walls of Hebron, about his experience, which became a huge success. He and his wife, Monika Sznajderman, run a small publishing house in Czarne.

One of a number of cult writers to have emerged from post-communist central Europe… Stasiuk's prose has the easy flow of Kerouac's

Other text

Politicises the everyday so compellingly that it calls to mind the greatest work of John McGahern
