"Like such other anarchic spirits as Flann O'Brien and Celine, Konwicki has a lovely light way of writing, which never clogs chaos with self-pity and bestows upon the direst pages sentences of casual magic." (John Updike, New Yorker )
"A Minor Apocalypse is a book that feels like a bomb about to explode." (Kirkus)
"Clever and painfully amusing . . . [A Minor Apocalypse] can't, by its very nature, offer answers. But it has its own wracking and bitter authenticity." (Irving Howe, New York Review of Books
"It has elements of satire, night profound political analysis based on authentic situations. But Mr. Konwicki also mixes crude humor with a lyrical love plot, solemnity with revels, irony with pathos, and realistic observations with philosophical ruminations." (New York Times Book Review )
"This is political satire at its best." (Michael Heim, Los Angeles Times)
"Konwicki's portrait of modern Poland masterfully blends the abject and the absurd. . . . It reaffirms Konwicki as one of the foremost commentators on his country's plight." (Library Journal )
