About the book
Steps by Jerzy Kosiński is a National Book Award–winning novel made up of short, unconnected stories told by an unnamed narrator traveling through different places. Instead of a normal plot, the book shows unsettling scenes of power, control, and human relationships, where the narrator watches and manipulates people around him without showing much emotion. Through its cold and direct tone, the story explores how trauma, isolation, and strict societies change the way people treat one another.
