Beautiful Twentysomethings by Marek Hlasko
Offers a firsthand account of the life of Marek Hlasko, a young writer whose iconoclastic way of life became an inspiration in 1950s Poland. Detailing relationships with such giants of Polish culture as the filmmaker Roman Polanski and the novelist Jerzy Andrzejewski, this memoir recounts his adventures and misadventures abroad in the postwar era.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
