This is one of the funniest books I have read this year. It does a great job at reporting on adventures from a sexual underground in a communist reality. It also has lots of well-written commentary about contemporary life and politics. The brief story of a Milan from Slovakia living in Vienna is probably the best part of the book.
Editorial Reviews. Review. This hilarious, scabrous, sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued ( and brilliantly translated) novel is essentially and life-enhancingly political - if.

Later, somewhere after page the book becomes a little too much of the same. It is interesting how a sexual underground mirrors reality and makes it even a bigger comedy that it already is!
I am sure the publication of the book came as a shock to Polish readers. People never thought that for all these years they actually shared their towns with a bunch of rather shameless queers! There are some issues with the translation the translator attached a few pages of explanation at the end of the book , mostly connected with unknown cigarette brands and names of small towns.
Martell Memorial oundation Dinner for Leukemia Research. Their music combines rock, English music hall and a certain amount of traditional sounds. Ralph MacDonald has yet to receive a Song of the Year Grammy nomination in his own right, but the percussionist woke up one morning recently to find that he played on three out of five songs "Afternoon Delight," "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover," "This Mas- querade" nominated this year I Most everything that's happening right now on the charts is an outside situation. It seems that the Cowboys didn't beat the Rams after all. A lot of people have been wondering when Greenwich will finally release another solo album.
I fear that a reader not familiar with the geography of western Poland might feel a little lost. Still, I think that much of the writing is unquestionably brilliant. This book has been praised in several British newspapers and received alot of acclaim elsewhere too but it is not an overly enjoyable read due to its constant repetition of barely discernable incidents.
It's over use of the female pronoun to describe the gay men who are all given women's names in the story also became tedious. Set in Poland the book changes back and forth between modern 21st Century Poland with its increasingly open gay scene and the underworld gay scene of the 's and 80's. Its underlying fascination for me was the regret the aging gay men had for the old gay scene under the Communist regime where the "grunts" supposedly straight men and Russian soldiers were easy game.
The reminiscences in this book were collected by the author who interviewed the older gay men who lived during the 's and 80's and to me these characters, as one previous reviewer has already stated, all tended to merge together into one voice.
