Unofficial Dorota Maslowska Web Site
Dorota Maslowska was born in 1983 in Wejcherowo in Poland. When she was 19 years old she wrote the book "Polish - Russian War under a
White and Red Banner".This book edited in 2002 and became a bestseller. It was sold in 120 000 copies.
"Polish - Russian War under a White and Red Banner" is a fresh and surprising portrait of marginalized, fatalistic
post-Communist youth. It is the story of Andrzej "Nails" Robakoski and his unraveling after his girlfriend Magda
dumps him. A tracksuited slacker who spends most of his time doing little more than searching for his next line of
speed and dreaming up conspiracy theories about the Polish economy, Nails ricochets from Magda, a doomed beauty who
bewitches men, to Angela, a proselytizing vegetarian Goth, to Natasha, a hellcat who tears his house apart looking for
speed, to Ala, the nerdy economics-student girlfriend of the friend who stole Magda. Through it all, a xenophobic campaign
against the proliferating Russian black market escalates, to the point where the citizens have to paint their houses in
national colors and one of these girls will
be crowned Miss No Russkies Day-or is that just in Nails' fevered mind?
Using inventive and visceral language, and by turns poetic, hilarious, disturbing, and dirty, "Polish - Russian War under a White and Red Banner" is a powerful portrait of love, hopelessness and political burnout in today's Eastern Europe. The Polish critic Marcin Swietlicki called this novel "a chunk of slightly spoiled literary meat," continuing, "I think it has been worth living 40 years to finally read something so interesting."
