In 2005 Newsweek Poland ranked it as one of the Polish Books of the Century: >>. (The book was republished in 2010 >>).

In 1991 the Ucross Foundation invited me to Wyoming: >>. While on a ranch there, I began sketching a story of a culture-drifter riding outlaw trail in the contemporary American West.
