Praise for Jerzy Pilch

“A very gifted writer… The hope of young Polish prose.”

—Czesław Miłosz

“Pilch’s antic sensibility confirms that he is the compatriot of Witold Gombrowicz, the Polish maestro of absurdist pranks. But readers with a taste for the fermented Irish blarney of Flann O’Brien, Samuel Beckett, and John Kennedy Toole might also savor Pilch.”

—Steven Kellman, Barnes & Noble Review

“If laughter actually is the best medicine, fortunate readers of A Thousand Peaceful Cities will surely enjoy perfect health for the rest of their days.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Jerzy Pilch’s Thousand Peaceful Cities are… the unruly, wonderfully erudite, and hilariously surreal product of a boisterous imagination set loose.”

—Valentina Zanca, Words Without Borders

“Fans of Gombrowicz will find this a much gentler, yet almost equally rich, examination of what it means to be an individual in a bygone world.”

—Jennifer Croft, World Literature Today
