| | 1. |  | The Painted Bird (Kosinski, Jerzy)
from Grove Press
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Although oversaturated with sex and violence, this Holocaust fiction is full of adventures, sensory expressiveness, victimhood, dealing with trustworthy and untrustworthy adults, the drama of hiding and escaping, etc.
The reader is led to believe such things as (review based on the 1965... more info

| | 2. |  | Being There
from Grove Press
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
Chance was a gardener for a very rich man. He did not know where he was born or who his parents were: all he knew was his garden and his room--and his T. V.. T. V. was all he knew about life. He never learned to read or write. A maid fed him everyday and all he did was tend his garden.
One day,... more info

| | 3. |  | Steps (Kosinski, Jerzy)
from Grove Press
Price: $11.70
Customer Review:
My agent, Ned Hamson, knowing I was writing an unconventional novel of my experience in South Africa as a young American executive (GREEN ISLAND IN A BLACK SEA) during apartheid, suggested I read STEPS.
Kosinski and I were born in the same year at opposite ends of the bloody Second World... more info

| | 4. |  | Blind Date (Kosinski, Jerzy)
from Grove Press
Price: $11.90
Customer Review:
A superbly entertaining, uniquely original, hugely enjoyable, horrifically real, surrealy introspective, and wholely original novel about the worst of society, but portrayed so beautifully, it makes the novel enjoyable, and exciting. You can read the work and a single sitting, in fact, you barely... more info

| | 5. |  | Cockpit (Kosinski, Jerzy)
from Grove Press
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Few books have made me as irritated as "Cockpit," as Kosinki episodically unravels one nightmare after another. There is just a minimal spine to hold the narrative togther (American spy becomes filthy rich through his manipulation of others), minimal dialogue, and no resolution of character or story... more info

| | 6. |  | Pinball (Kosinski, Jerzy)
from Grove Press
Price: $13.50
Customer Review:
Reading the reviews for Pinball thus far, there seems to be a determination either to dismiss the work entirely or attribute to it more weight than it deserves.
It helps to know that at the time of Pinball's publication, Kosinski's star in the literary landscape had either already been, or was... more info

| | 7. |  | The Devil Tree
from Grove Press
Price: $10.80
Customer Review:
The format is unusual having no chapters but rather a series of short vignetts in first and third person voices with no set sequence as to their inclusion into the framework of the story. At first I found this style to be somewhat off putting but long before the end of the work I warmed to this... more info
