"The originality of Tulli's writing is not lessened by representing a family tree that includes Michaux, Kafka, Calvino, and Saramago." - W.S. Merwin
In this inventive novel, Magdalena Tulli creates a world that is unreal, yet strangely familiar and utterly convincing. Set in a mythical fourth partition of Poland, In Red is full of haunting descriptions of the town and its inhabitants; its power lies in Tulli's evocative, almost hallucinatory use of language.
Magdalena Tulli's novels include Dreams and Stones, winner of Poland's Koscielski Foundation Award; Moving Parts, nominated for the 2007 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award; and Flaw, shortlisted for the 2007 NIKE Literary Award. Tulli is also the translator of Marcel Proust and Italo Calvino into Polish.
