 The Painted Bird is wonderful. I like Kosinski and his approach to the dark side of humanity.

The Bridge: A Journey Between Orient and Occident by Geert Mak
...
In 2006, Geert Mak spent weeks on the Galata bridge, one of Istanbul’s busiest, getting to know the pavement merchants: the tea vendor, the book salesman, the peddler of orthopedic soles and the boys who trade in illegal cigarettes.  Most of them are from villages in Turkey’s far east and are desperately poor, barely able to their keep their heads above water; they live from one day, one hour, to the next. And they all have their own worries, their strategies for survival, their hopes, their own stories. The result is ‘a travelogue covering 490 metres’, in the author’s words.

Geert Mak is a journalist and historian, and one of The Netherlands’ bestselling writers;..

The Poles that knew Jerzy were very upset that he protrayed Poles that way in his novel and Poles only ever treated him nicely. Yes, it is fictional work and he as a writer can write what he wants, it´s not based on factual events for the most part I have heard. I have not read it but plan to. I can give a proper evaluation then.
