Recenzje

"The very existence of The Art of Resistance is its most remarkable feature. But the story, too, is a good one, recounted with astonishing lucidity. It's a picaresque tale of a teenager who survives assorted perils by dint of luck, courage and his intellectual gifts, encountering various famous people along the way." Forward
