Andrzej Stasiuk's Dojczland
Signandsight.com has a translated review of Dojczland by the Polish author Andrzej Stasiuk, which is apparently topping the bestseller lists in Poland:
As well as scrutinising today’s Germans, this slim volume – just 112 pages – also picks apart the Poles. At first glance it seems to be a travel book. Stasiuk describes what he experienced, saw and thought as he criss-crossed Germany on a reading tour. But in fact he draws a sophisticated double portrait of the Germans and the Poles with flights of sarcasm and a wonderful sense of grotesque. At one point he writes in an apparently innocuous tone: “Travelling in Germany is psychoanalysis.”
