A finalist for the NIKE 2001 Polish Literary Prize the book is a moving collection of reportages, probably some of the best examples of the genre published in the Polish press in the last two decades. In his account of the tangled fortunes of his characters, Wojciech Tochman reaches their most intimate secrets. Not in order to create a sensation, but to discover the universal truth about humanity.
The characters include the famous Polish climber, Wanda Rutkiewicz; a couple of sisters who lavish an enormous amount of love on a hideous-looking abandoned child; some girls pressed into prostitution in the brothels of Berlin or a man who finds his estranged twin and then discovers that he is homosexual.
Ryszard Kapuściński recomamends this book as “excellent prose, a quest for the truth about human life revealing the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary.”
