Killing Auntie by Andrzej Bursa

4.0

This slight book from the 1950s by Polish writer Andrzej Bursa is a dark, macabre journey into the world of an emotionally remote college student who suddenly kills his aunt. His hapless adventures that follow are crackling with black humor and anger. I'd never heard of Bursa, who died in his 20s from a heart attack, and this knife-sharp little book could have been the beginning of a career from a unique writer, but sadly, this is his only novel.
