Gnój

The history of a toxic family as seen by a boy of a few years: poor people who could not live together and could not separate either, who no longer told one day from another and learned about holidays from the television. It is a novel about beating, and about crippled fatherhood, immature and able to think only in terms of stronger and weaker. But it is also about the dull force that rules the adult world, about a child's disappointments, dreams and daily humiliations, and about painfully growing up, against the background of Upper Silesia past and present.
