“A creaking sound”

Wydawnictwo Otwarte, 2018.

It is so good to find, among so many writers that only want to depict their little worlds, a writer who does want to depict the world. Even if it’s impossible – and that’s the beauty of this attempt.

A Creaking Sound is a touching portrait of the contemporary world told in seven different stories about ordinary people whose fates predestine them to become heroes. Seven journeys in time. And since time is given to us in the form of memory, it will be seven journeys through the seven memories of seven ordinary people. On the surface it’s the same world and the same periods of time, but they’re seen from the different perspectives of an inhabitant of Uganda, the USA, Colombia, India, Finland, Zimbabwe and Japan.

The latest book by the award-winning reporter Tomasz Michniewicz is an unusual combination of personal stories and an insightl look at the global problems of the contemporary world. In a very vivid and convincing manner the author shows the world as the characters see it, forcing readers to reflect on the human condition.
