An audacious, fresh portrait of marginalized, fatalistic post-Communist youth. Andrzej 'Nails' Robakoski is a tracksuited slacker who spends most of his time doing nothing other than searching for his next line of speed and dreaming up conspiracy theories about the national economy. Dumped by his girlfriend Magda, a beautiful seductress, he turns to Angela, a proselytizing vegetarian Goth, and then to Natasha, a hellcat who tears his house apart looking for speed, followed by Ala, the nerdy economics student who was the girlfriend of the friend who stole Magda. In the background, a xenophobic campaign against the growing Russian black market escalates, resulting in citizens painting their houses in national colours, and a pageant to crown one of the girls as Miss No Russkies...or did it all just happen in Nails' fevered mind? With inventive and visceral language that is by turns poetic, hilarious, disturbing and dirty, White and Red is a powerful portrait of love, hopelessness and political burnout in contemporary Eastern Europe.

Kochanie, zabilam nasze kotyNowa, od dawna oczekiwana powiesc Doroty Maslowskiej !\nW swoich poprzednich ksiazkach bardzo wnikliwie, ale tez swiezo, z mlodziencza beztroska, przygladala sie ona temu, co widziala za oknem, na ulicy? naszej polskiej codziennosci. Robila to dowcipnie i celnie, a powodzenie jej ksiazek zarowno u czytelnikow jak i u krytykow dowiodlo, ze takiego glosu w naszej literaturze wspolczesnej bardzo brakowalo.\nW najnowszej powiesci, rownie dowcipnie i wnikliwie przyglada sie tzw. klasie sredniej, mlodym, zamoznym ludziom, ktorzy nie maja pomyslu na to, co zrobic ze swoim zyciem. Ich losy, wyglad, mieszkania wydaja sie nam podobne niezaleznie od tego czy zyja w Warszawie czy w Nowym Jorku. Naprawde warto zobaczyc ich oczami Doroty Maslowskiej ? dostrzezecie to, czego dotad nie widzieliscie i spotkacie sama AUTORKe (jak zwykle pelna dystansu do samej siebie ?).
