Reviews

A self-taught writer with an uncanny gift for narrative and dialogue...[Hlasko was] a born rebel and troublemaker of immense charm. -Roman Polanski, in Roman


Ross Ufberg renders Hlasko's direct, often street-smart language--with its sometimes angry and sometimes lyrical tone--with dexterity and grace. His translation has the energy and 'flow' of the original and is highly readable. --Jaroslaw Anders, author of Between Fire and Sleep: Sketches on Modern Polish Poetry and Prose The new translation of Beautiful Twentysomethings by Ross Ufberg gives justice to Hlasko's unique, yet still relatively unheard voice, and exquisitely preserves both the playfulness of his language and the bitterness of his insight. --Slavic and East European Journal A self-taught writer with an uncanny gift for narrative and dialogue...[Hlasko was] a born rebel and troublemaker of immense charm. -Roman Polanski, in Roman
