This autobiographical prose work chronicles the daily thoughts, memories, and anxieties of Tadeusz Konwicki himself as he navigates life in Communist-era Warsaw, weaving together intimate confessions, literary ruminations, and the haunting shadows of a Lithuanian childhood into a singular meditation on time, identity, and the burden of history.\n\nKonwicki's style is immediately distinctive: digressive, self-deprecating, and shot through with mordant irony, it mirrors the fractured consciousness of a writer who has lived under censorship and ideological pressure for decades. Moonrise, Moonset stands as the third volume in his celebrated autobiographical trilogy — following A Calendar of Days and Moonrise, Moonset — and cements his reputation as one of the sharpest and most courageous voices to emerge from postwar Eastern Europe. Masterfully rendered into English by Richard Lourie, this edition invites anglophone readers into a world where the personal and the political are inseparable — leaving one to wonder where memoir ends and elegy begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216213450971,"sku":"2026200013243-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d3ae4ee0-902d-452b-a1f9-8b3a36873437.png?v=1788405477","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013243-secondhand-moonrise-moonset","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
