A lomos de mi borrico

Andrzej Stasiuk, the great chronicler of Eastern Europe, embarks in this book on a new journey through eastern lands alongside an introverted, taciturn friend, charting a perfect straight-line route: Ukraine–Russia–Kazakhstan–Mongolia. Much like the journey itself, the narrative unfolds linearly, clocking up kilometers at a hypnotic pace. Regardless of shifts in style or tone, Stasiuk’s inquisitive gaze never fails to move and surprise us, as his analytical mind always leaves room for wonder. *A lomos de mi borrico* is at once an ode to the road trip, a logbook of curious encounters, and a scathing critique of cultural prejudices—an irresistible invitation to any reader wishing to venture on an unforgettable journey.
