Doctor Bianco and Other Stories

A postman who develops close friendships with everyone on his postal route, an old man who stops buying the coal he needs to heat his flat so he can afford Christmas presents for his granddaughters, a senile old Holocaust survivor who's suspicious of almost all her neighbours, two young sisters who are fed up with their baby brother, and an old woman squabbling with her tailor while a suit is being sewn for her to wear at her own funeral these are just some of the intriguing characters we meet in Doctor Bianco and Other Stories. Written in terse, spare, unaffected prose devoid of sentimentality, the nineteen stories in this collection gradually reveal the portraits of various people inhabiting one particular apartment building in an unspecified town. The gritty, harsh realities faced by Bielawski's protagonists are at times darkly funny and other times gut-wrenchingly sad. Bielawski sets up a magnifying glass on a small corner of Polish life and allows us to glimpse fascinating, surreal scenes from a tangle of human lives whose heartbreak, despair and various anxieties might feel surprisingly familiar to readers from any walk of life.Brilliant, insightful snapshots of everyday reality.Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in LiteratureBielawski's characters circulate in a greyish humdrum world, but their hopes and concerns bleed out of the page and become ours in these strange and endearing fictions.Jonathan Gibbs, author of The Large Door Tytuł Doctor Bianco and Other Stories Autor Maciek Bielawski Wydawnictwo Terra Librorum EAN 9781914987014 ISBN 9781914987014 Kategoria Literatura obcojęzyczna, Angielski Liczba stron 192 Format 195x125 mm Rok wydania 2021 Oprawa broszurowa
