Maciek Bielawski Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Written in terse, spare, unaffected prose devoid of sentimentality, the 19 stories in this collection gradually reveal the portraits of various people inhabiting one particular apartment building in an unspecified Polish town.The gritty, harsh realities faced by Bielawski's protagonists are at times darkly funny and other times gut-wrenchingly sad.
