Koraci

Jerzy Kosinski

„Steps“ ist eine Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten, die durch die Figur eines namenlosen Erzählers miteinander verbunden sind.

Die Texte sind oft düster, schockierend, fragmentarisch und voller Symbolik. Kosiński verwendet einen minimalistischen Stil, um eindringliche Bilder von Entfremdung, Macht, Sexualität und Gewalt zu schaffen. Manche Texte wirken fast allegorisch, während andere an Kriegsgeständnisse oder psychoanalytische Studien erinnern.

Aufgrund seines expliziten Inhalts und seiner ungewöhnlichen Struktur erregte das Buch große Aufmerksamkeit und gewann 1969 in den USA den National Book Award für Belletristik. Später wurde es jedoch aufgrund von Vorwürfen, der Autor habe Teile plagiiert und tatsächlich Hilfe von anderen Autoren erhalten (was Kosiński stets bestritt), kontrovers diskutiert.
