Summary
Marek Hlasko: To Kill Another Dog
A legend of the young generation in Poland in the fifties (he was called the James Dean of Eastern Europe), he lived a fast and adventurous life for only about thirty years, but despite everything he managed to write a dozen novels. He published the first, The Eighth Day of the Week, already in 1957. The war left a deep impression on him, as did the difficult experiences of what communism and life under the Iron Curtain brought to Poland. From the age of 24, he was in exile - first in France, then in Israel, Germany and America, before he committed suicide in 1969. There is a trace of all this in the novel Kill another dog.
