About this Item

THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Scarce collection of these two novellas from the "Polish Jack Kerouac." Spine is creased and edges are worn. Pages are tanned but clean. Hlasko has been described as Poland's angry young man of the 1950s. "The Eighth Day of the Week" is a story of two young people searching for a place to consummate their love, and "Killing the Second Dog" gives voice to the rebellious longings and resentments of youth growing up under communism.
