Szesnaście opowiadań zawartych w debiutanckim tomie Marka Hłaski? jednego z najbardziej wyrazistych polskich prozaików ? przedstawia naturalistyczne obrazy z czasów realizmu socjalistycznego. Zawarty w nich dosadny, szorstki i pozbawiony złudzeń świat to nie tylko przejmujący zapis ludzkich losów, ale też głębokie studium psychologiczne bohaterów, którzy w różny sposób próbują buntować się przeciwko zastanej rzeczywistości.
Marek Hlasko's literary autobiography offers a gritty and humorous glimpse into the life of a young writer in 1950s Poland, capturing the essence of a rebellious generation. His memoir is filled with captivating tales of his experiences, including his interactions with notable figures like Roman Polanski and Jerzy Andrzejewski. Breaking away from Socialist-Realist norms, Hlasko emerged as a significant literary figure.

Ross Ufberg's translation brings Hlasko's passionate voice to English readers.
