Reseña del editor:
Deep in debt to loan sharks, Pawel, a desperate young businessman, turns for help to two friends, both outsiders in the post-Communist wasteland of Warsaw--ex-coal miner-turned-drug dealer Bolek and Jacek, an addict on the run. Reprint.
Contraportada:
A New York Times Editors' Choice When Pawel wakes up in his trashed apartment, he has three days to raise the money he owes to loan sharks and only two friends to whom he can turn. But first he must find them in the hostile landscape that is post-Communist Warsaw.
"A fool’s-gold chase through Warsaw―the bus terminals, the railway stations, the shopping centers and the grubby apartments. Like the Dublin of Joyce’s Ulysses, the city itself becomes a central personality of the book . . . Stasiuk’s prose soars over the city. He sees as a helicopter might, and illuminates stray lives with empathy and verve . . . I caught a flavor of Hamsun, Sartre, Genet and Kafka in Stasiuk’s scalpel-like but evocative writing. Nine feels like a major work of modern fiction, a portrait of an uprooted and restless generation of Eastern Europeans and of a city resigned to the fact that post-Communism is not quite as advertised."--Irvine Welsh, The New York Times Book Review ANDRZEJ STASIUK deserted from the Polish army under Communism, was sent to prison, and there began his writing career. In 2005 he won the NIKE Award, Poland’s most important literary prize. He lives in the Carpathian Mountains.|A New York Times Editors' Choice
