The second installment in The Guardian<\/em>‘s<\/a> series of short stories from Eastern Europe is ‘Chocolate’ by Michal Olszewski<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Olszewski is a young (b. 1977) Polish writer who works in Krakow for the daily paper, Gazeta Wyborcza<\/em>. The story—which is wonderfully translated by recent “Found in Translation” award winner Antonia Lloyd-Jones—is about a young man shoplifting in a German supermarket. More contained and stylistically straight that the Clemens Meyer story from yesterday, this story also has a bit of a twist at the end. . . <\/p>\n
