Janusz Rudnicki: Mój Wehrmacht

Supported by Polish Institute Prague

The unmistakably curt, ironic, and dramatic styl of this book calls upon the very best traditions of the Polish black grotesque and its exquisit sense of humor, which therewithal touches upon existential themes. The short-story form suits the author wonderfully because within them he can fully exploit his talent for observation and his art of combining high literary language with well chosen vulgarities.
