World Literature Today, MayAugust 2004Tales of Galicia ... describes the soul of a village community with more authenticity than anything else I have read. John Berger, Los Angeles Times, December 28, 2003[R]anks among the most vivid and profound works of fiction published this year . . . a masterpiece. The Journal News, December 21, 2003Product DescriptionSeemingly a collection of prose ballads about a mythical village facing the trauma of 1990sstyle economic transformation, the book gradually reinvents itself as a novel. Considered one of Poland's leading contemporary writers, Stasiuk brilliantly blurs the line between genres as he explores the fissures in existence where there is often little difference between the living and the dead, death and sleep, dream and reality, the real and the televised, and between civilization and nature.
