»Mrozek's literature is addictive.«
El País, Barcelona
»The author, known primarily as a playwright, reveals himself as a writer of incisive prose who captures the absurdity of reality and its interaction with unreality in polished, witty formulations.«
Neue Zürcher Zeitung

»Brilliant [...] the writer is an Aesop for our times.«
