Paper Golem

In some ways, this book resembles a diary, in some ways — travel notes. Sometimes it pretends to be a collection of low poems and aphorisms, and sometimes — a collection of very short essays. “Paper Golem” — laconic and expressive, angry and provocative, melancholic and critical texts by Algerd Bakharevich, written in emigration. What has repeatedly sounded from the stages of different cities, in different languages, in interviews with Western media and in conversations with foreign readers. What the author is rarely asked about in Belarusian.

Writer Bakharevich - about history and literature, creativity and language, about fate and exile, pain and love. About what he learned and what he understood. About himself and those around him. About our time, about his Belarus, about the West and the East, about the new and old world.

The most sincere book by Algerd Bakharevich.
