Hugo-Bader, Jacek, 1957-2014
Books
From the author of the award-winning 'White Fever', 'Kolyma Diaries' is an excursion into one of the world's last remaining badlands, a place full of Gulag ghosts and living wrecks. All along the 2000 kilometres of the Kolyma highway, Bader is plied with vodka. He hears mesmerising, sometimes devastating, tales of the journeys that brought his 'fellow travellers', the people who give him lifts, to this benighted land.
