Review by Kirkus Book Review

The second edition of Jerzy Kosinski's Boschian nightmare of a small child alone in a world of unremitting terror, lust and bestiality--his first novel originally published in 1965--incorporates new changes in the text and an introduction by the author who comments on the controversy engendered by this brutal vision of WW II Poland.
