Steps (novel)
''Steps'' is a collection of short stories by a Polish-American writer Jerzy Kosinski, released in 1968 by Random House. The work comprises scores of loosely connected vignettes, which explore themes of social control and alienation by depicting scenes rich in erotic and violent motives. ''Steps'' won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction in 1969.
==Overview==
''Steps'' was Kosinski's second novel, a follow-up to his successful ''The Painted Bird'' released in 1965. It consists of a series of short stories, reminiscences, anecdotes and dialogues, loosely linked to each other or having no connection at all, written in the first person. Samuel Coale described the narrator as "nothing more than a disembodied voice howling in some surrealistic wilderness." The book does not name any characters or places where described situations take place.
The book has been interpreted as being about "a Polish man's difficulties under the harsh Soviet regime at home played against his experiences as a new immigrant to the United States and its bizarre codes of capitalism."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Steps — Jerzy Kosinski )〕 The stories reflect upon control, power, domination and alienation, depicting scenes full of brutality or sexually explicit. ''Steps'' contains remarkable autobiographical elements and numerous references to World War II.
