Marta Hermanowicz
Koniec

“Koniec’s great power, and undoubtedly its most striking originality, lies in the almost experimental form chosen by Marta Hermanowicz. The book resembles a kind of three-voice chant, superimposed in time and space, but which nonetheless seem to belong to a single person, or rather to the same consciousness distorted through many incarnations. […] What the novel so powerfully conveys is precisely this survival of the past in the present, this way that history has of remaining active, not as a memory, but as psychic substance.”
