Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Extremely clever and provocative writing. . . . Mr. Glowacki has a keen ability to mine the dark absurdist humor in the language of terror and makes elegant Kafkaesque comedy of his nation's ongoing nightmare of repression." -Frank Rich, New York Times "Glowacki's work has some kind of hope secretly hidden in it. Maybe it's only because it makes laughter-if you don't burst the stitches and bleed to death." -Arthur Miller "To put it poetically, [Glowacki] is a writer whose subject matter is that rare combination of the socially relevant and the universally human. He can look steadfastly into the bleak depths of the human condition and still have the faith and conviction to find sunlight in the rubble." -Joseph Papp

Reseña del editor:

Janusz Glowacki's highly theatrical and often hilarious works concern the immigrant experience of the Eastern European in America, the struggles of the individual in a repressive state, and the manipulations of political and social power. The girls' reform school of Cinders, the Lower East Side tenement of Hunting Cockroaches, and the Norwegian court littered with bodies in Fortinbras Gets Drunk serve as backdrops for Glowacki's tragicomic explorations of the play within the play of contemporary existence.
