Karolina Waclawiak’s third novel LIFE EVENTS received a rave review by Lara Vapnyar in The New York Times Book Review. Vapnyar writes: “Waclawiak accomplishes a brilliant feat here, creating an atmosphere of almost palpable, effortful dullness that presides over the entire novel. With so much opportunity for raw emotion, the author seems to avoid it at all cost, going for exceptional clarity instead. ” Farrar, Straus and Giroux published the book on July 28, 2020.
