Rzeczy nienasycone

An old man's recollections, first printed as notes in a London émigré magazine, carry him back almost sixty years to a wartime childhood. Andrzej, a boy of about nine, is deported with his mother and other Poles to Siberia. Instead of a plot there are snapshots of turning points, in which danger and death stay at the edge of the frame while the boy discovers his body and desire with girls and women he meets. Each chapter runs as one long unpunctuated sentence.
