Wojciech Kuczok is a Polish writer, screenwriter, film critic, the youngest winner of the main Polish literary award “Nika” (2004). For their piercing frankness, emotionality and sensuality, the writer’s works are often compared to the books of his compatriot, the famous Janusz Wisniewski. The heroes of Kuchok's latest novel - a doctor, a writer, an actress - at first live as if in a dream, they live and do not live, teaching themselves to do without joy, without love. But for each of them there comes a moment of awakening, a moment of long-awaited release of all feelings, desires and creative forces - it is at this stage that the fates of the heroes unexpectedly intersect. According to many authoritative critics, the novel “Like a Dream” is Wojciech Kuczok’s best work. “Every minute spent reading Kuczok’s book pays off handsomely” (Janusz Wisniewski).
