Jerzy Kosinski

    14 juin 1933 – 3 mai 1991

    L'écriture de Jerzy Kosiński explore les thèmes de l'identité, de la mémoire et de la nature de la survie humaine, puisant souvent dans ses propres expériences de la Pologne en temps de guerre. Son style se distingue par son honnêteté brute et sa profondeur psychologique pénétrante. Kosiński a exploré les limites de la moralité et de la résilience tandis que ses personnages sont confrontés à des circonstances extrêmes. Son œuvre remet fréquemment en question la réalité perçue, laissant les lecteurs contempler les complexités de la condition humaine.

    • "The story of Chauncey Gardiner - Chance, an enigmatic but distinguished man who emerges from nowhere to become an heir to the throne of a Wall Street tycoon, a presidential policy adviser, and a media icon. Truly 'a man without qualities,' Chance's straightforward responses to popular concerns are heralded as visionary. But though everyone is quoting him, no one is sure what he's really saying. And filling in the blanks in his background proves impossible. Being There is a brilliantly satiric look at the unreality of American media culture that is, if anything, more trenchant now than ever." -- Amazon.com

    • Jerzy Kosinski's best-selling novel Pinball, which he wrote for George Harrison, is a rock 'n' roll mystery centered on a superstar named Goddard who has, despite his success, managed to keep his identity a secret, even from his closest friends. But a beautiful young woman, obsessed with finding Goddard, stalks him relentlessly, driven by a secret goal that justifies all means. Ricocheting with humor and bursting with erotic intensity, Pinball is a game as intricate, unpredictable, suspenseful, and complex as life.
