He wanders around ‘the most dangerous nooks and corners of the town’, gets help from fallen women, deals with pimps and gun-traders and disarms a group of Warsaw Nazis before he finally comes across ‘the vengeance of women’ – the vengeance of our times…A perfect read for people with taste for surrealism and humour. Marcin Brzostowski (1969) – a contemporary Polish writer, who comments on current issues and affairs by absurd and grotesque.

Franco Fog’s apartment

Saturday, 6.30 a.m.

Around three hours ago inspector Franco Fog lay down on the sofa in his living room and, without realising when, he fell asleep. He deserved it. For three days and nights, he had incessantly been chasing the assassin or assassins of Jean-Pierre, a famous drag queen. Despite the earnest efforts of the police, the body of the deceased was found just last night in the city zoo in the lion enclosure. It was not hard to think that Jean-Pierre did not look like this beautiful boy, about whom half the Cabinet, national male badminton team, or even a well-known breakfast television presenter Roman Beetle, known as the Kissing Roman, were mad, anymore. The citizens of Warsaw had long been paralyzed with fear. Those who remained cool kept their fingers crossed for the police investigation to be successful. Jean-Pierre wasn’t, however, the only victim of the nameless beast hunting in town. There were also Mr. Drabik, a Member of Parliament, Mr. Colorful, the stripper and Mr. Kushaty, the minister of medium heavy-light industry. To people’s wonder, their bodies hadn’t yet been found. The only proof that the beast devoured its victims were brief obituaries issued in women’s magazines informing of the death of those mentioned above signed with a mysterious signature ‘WCDE’.
