SINOPSE
This National Book Award-winning novel of power, libido, and morality is "a powerful and profoundly disturbing book" (The New York Times).
First published in 1968, Jerzy Kosinski’s classic vision of moral and sexual estrangement captured the deviant undercurrents of the era’s politics and culture. In this haunting novel, distinctions are eroded between oppressor and oppressed, perpetrator and victim, narcissism and anonymity. Kosinski portrays men and women both aroused and desensitized by an environment that disdains the individual and seeks control over the imagination.
"Céline and Kafka stand behind this accomplished art" from the celebrated author of The Painted Bird and Being There (The New York Times Book Review).
"A collection of unbelievably creepy little allegorical tableaux done in a terse elegant voice that’s like nothing else anywhere ever." —David Foster Wallace
"Kosinski’s prose is perfect to his purpose, efficient, detached, lucid as a gem, wholly in command." —The New York Times
"By some miracle of training, which recalls the linguistic bravado of Conrad and Nabokov, he is already a master of pungent and disciplined English prose. Simply as a stylist, Kosinski has few equals among American novelists born to the language. And I have also become convinced, after reading Steps, that he is one of the most gifted new figures to appear in our literature for some years." —Irving Howe, Harper’s
"A beautifully written book. It is precise, scrupulous, and poetic. I can think of few writers who are able to so persuasively describe an event, set a scene, communicate an emotion." —Geoffrey Wolff, New Leader

SOBRE O AUTOR
Jerzy Kosinski
Jerzy Kosinski nasceu em Lodz em 1933 com o apelido
Lewinkopf. Após a invasão da Polónia pelos alemães em
1939, foi separado dos pais e enviado para a protecção
possível de estranhos, partilhando o destino errante de milhares
de crianças judias polacas. Com estudos superiores
em Sociologia e Ciência Política, uma bolsa da Fundação
Ford permitiu-lhe viajar para os Estados Unidos em 1957,
onde se estabeleceria. Aprendendo inglês e sobrevivendo
como podia, escreveu o livro de ensaios The Future Is Ours,
Comrade: Conversations with the Russians sob o pseudónimo
Joseph Novak. Em 1965, a edição de The Painted Bird
marcaria o início de uma carreira fulgurante no mundo das
letras norte-americanas. Das suas obras posteriores podem
destacar-se Steps (que venceu o National Book Award de
1969), Being There e The Devil Tree.
Transformado numa celebridade, Kosinski conjugava o
convívio íntimo com a beautiful people da upper (e lower)
Manhattan e Hollywood com o trabalho de professor, novelista,
ensaísta, presidente da secção americana do PEN,
fotógrafo, argumentista de cinema (adaptando Being There
para Peter Sellers, no que viria a ser o último filme deste)
e actor (uma intensa encarnação de Grigory Zinoviev no
épico de Warren Beatty Reds).
Como efeito de uma decadência física acentuada, de uma
profunda depressão ou, como escreveu John Corry, por ter
sido finalmente apanhado pelos seus fantasmas, Kosinski
suicidou-se a 3 de Maio de 1991 em Nova Iorque.
