The report claimed that Kosiński's books had actually been ghost-written by " assistant editors ", finding stylistic differences among Kosiński's novels.

" Perhaps the most surprising element of this aspect of Kosiński's mystifications is that he obtained from his mother, who was still alive in Poland – the father had died by the time The Painted Bird was published – a letter corroborating the claim that he had been separated from his family during the war.

Terence Blacker, a profitable English publisher ( who helped publish Kosiński's books ) and author of children's books and mysteries for adults, wrote in his article published in The Independent in 2002: " The significant point about Jerzy Kosiński was that ... his books ... had a vision and a voice consistent with one another and with the man himself.

" Jonathon Yardley, reviewing it for The Miami Herald, wrote: " Of all the remarkable fiction that emerged from World War II, nothing stands higher than Jerzy Kosiński's The Painted Bird.

" Samuel Coale, in a 1974 discussion of Kosiński's fiction, wrote that " the narrator of Steps for instance, seems to be nothing more than a disembodied voice howling in some surrealistic wilderness.
