In the desolate landscape of Eastern Europe during World War II, a young boy is sent by his parents to the countryside for safety. There, he encounters a world of extreme superstition and hostility. With his dark hair and eyes in a land of fair-skinned people, he is treated like a 'painted bird'—a creature whose vibrant colors provoke the deadly suspicion of its own kind. Jerzy Kosinski's masterpiece is a powerful exploration of survival, cruelty, and the human condition.
Jerzy Kosiński was a Polish-born American writer and two-time president of the American chapter of PEN, who wrote primarily in English.
