Astounding book of simple direct language. Now sits next to Barthes' Mythologies on my shelf. The 4 stories combine as a polemic about the power of the choices we make in a changing world. New and flashy trumps long held values, selfish penance ignored others' sacrifices. Every choice we make comes about only because of other factors, yet the decisions are for the here and now.

Reading about people in Poland was very interesting and new to me. I also enjoyed some phrases very much. However, I did not really care about the stories.

Maybe a 3.5? Beautifully written but I didn’t appreciate it and struggled to follow the anecdotes
