"Raymond Soltysek's palette is sombre, the gaze unremitting. A Polish Scot, his occasional demons move the central belt to a central Europe of the spirit. This is Wajda rather than Chopin - the spare, the pared-down rather than the flamboyant prose that brings the American "Dirty Realists" to mind too: another Raymond, Carver in particular." Donny O'Rourke
