Natalka Sniadanko

"Cultural critique from the perspective of arranging the coffee cups in the cupboard."
ANDRZEJ STASIUK

"One of the most significant debuts in Ukrainian literature in the last five years."
JURI ANDRUCHOVITSCH

"I think this is a potential cult novel."
ANDREJ KURKOV

"One devours the « Collection of Passions » because it is completely immodest and yet fulfils the highest of demands at the same time."
GAZETA WYBORCZA

"... a staggering irony, scintillating humour and a style which has the reader racing through the book."
PRZEKROJ WARSCHAU

"A pen from which the sparks of the divine gift of irony simply erupt, sharp but also precision-ground due to a heritage of both classical and popular literature. Enraptured by the elemental force of writing, not by the enticement of creating a work of art. Sniadanko writes about simple, comprehensible, universal and eternal things, without avant-garde fireworks and post-modernistic games."
