A powerful novel composed of loosely connected vignettes that explore themes of identity, control, sexuality, and alienation. Through stark and visceral scenes—some violent, others erotic—Kosiński portrays deeply personal experiences of desire, oppression, and emotional detachment. The fragmented narrative forgoes traditional structure and characters, instead offering a poetic, haunting portrait of the modern human psyche under pressure. Winner of the 1969 U.S. National Book Award, Steps challenges readers with its bold and provocative examination of power dynamics and human vulnerability.
