Znak Literanova Publishing House and MSN Publishing House invite you to the premiere of the book Nie mówi się takich rzeczy (You Don't Say Things Like That). This unique project combines Hanna Krall's narrative with drawings by Zbigniew Libera, one of the most important contemporary Polish artists. This combination paints a picture of a world in which memory is both a duty and a curse.
The meeting will be hosted by Mariusz Szczygieł, and excerpts from the book will be read by Magdalena Cielecka.
A book for the brave. How to find out the truth that is difficult to ask about?
Who is interviewing Hanna Krall? Why is she the one to report on this? Is it because she has always been a truthful reporter?
Krall reports factually and meticulously, and expects her listeners to be attentive—to notice what is important but hidden in the details. Masterful journalistic miniatures about past and recent events tell of experiences in which there is room for humor and fear, delight and sadness, despair and hope.
"You Don't Say Things Like That" is a candid and intimate conversation that continues long after the book is closed and demands to be revisited.
