Urszula Honek (Poland)
The White Nights
The award-winning Polish poet Urszula Honek presents her epic debut novel: In thirteen interwoven stories, she reveals a village at the foot of the Beskid Mountains, where a girl unknowingly accompanies her dying grandmother, women dream of another life, and young men already carry death in their hearts. With her language, Honek creates a magic-realist portrait of the Polish countryside. “In her debut short story collection The White Nights, Polish poet Urszula Honek creates a pre-modern rural backworld. These thirteen stories are carefully interwoven and delve deep into the archaic layers of village life.” (Sigrid Löffler, Süddeutsche Zeitung)
