Dukla (2011)
Dukla is a 2011 Polish-language light book written by Andrzej Stasiuk.
"At several points in the haunting Dukla, Andrzej Stasiuk claims that what he is trying to do is 'write a book about light.' The result is a beautiful, lyrical series of evocations of a very specific locale at different times of the year, in different kinds of weather, and with different human landscapes. Dukla, in fact, is a real place: a small resort town not far from where Stasiuk now lives. Taking an usual form--a short essay, a novella, and then a series of brief portraits of local people or event--this book, though bordering on the metaphysical, the mystical, even the supernatural, never loses sight of the particular time, and above all place, in which it is rooted"--Cover p. [4].
