" 'Stories Overheard' is an outstanding prose debut. This collection of short stories is artistically well thought-out and shows the starting-point for Mr Kuczok's prose, and perhaps his intended direction."(Henryk Bereza)
Wojciech Kuczok (b. 1972) poet, writer, film critic. In 2000 Stories Overheard was nominated for the NIKE, the most eminent Polish literary award.
