Review:
One of our most significant writers. --Newsweek
One of the best . . . Written with deep sincerity and sensitivity. --Elie Wiesel, The New York Times Book Review
Of all the remarkable fiction that emerged from World War II, nothing stands higher than Jerzy Kosinski's The Painted Bird. A magnificent work of art, and a celebration of the individual will. No one who reads it will forget it; no one who reads it will be unmoved by it. The Painted Bird enriches our literature and our lives. --Jonathan Yardley, The Miami Herald
