The Painted Bird, by Jerzy Kosinski (Lewinkopf). 1965.
Reviewer: Mr. Jan Peczkis
Here We Are 50 Years Later, and the Very Same Lurid Anti-Polish Accusations, of This Highly-Acclaimed But Demonstrably-Fraudulent Book, Are Freely Repeated By Far Too Many Jewish Authors and Journalists as Fact
My review is based on the original 1965 Edition of PAINTED BIRD. In the front insert, this book is lauded by the LIBRARY JOURNAL, the (surprise) NEW YORK TIMES, and COMMONWEAL. In fact, COMMONWEAL calls it a “deeply moral work” (Reader: Try not to laugh).
Fact is, this book is a fraud of the highest order. For instance, see my reviews of:
