Long out of print, The Graveyard is Hłasko’s portrait of a system built on denial and willful blindness. Factory worker Franciszek Kowalski is on his way home after drinking with an old friend when he insults a policeman, leading to his arrest and expulsion from the Party. His attempts to rehabilitate himself lead him deeper into the underworld. Written during Hłasko’s early career, the novel criticizes a regime maintained by surveillance, intimidation, and psychological manipulation. It is a classic of political disillusionment from a prominent Polish writer.
