The title translated into English means either the Peacock of the Queen, or the Puke of the Queen. It’s a Polish satirical/grotesque novel written as one long hip-hop/rap poem by a very talented 23 year-old-girl. If I were to compare it, it resembles some songs of Tom Waits with bits and pieces of newspaper ads and real newspaper articles mixed into a song, but with conversations and a plot.
Once you get used to the amount of profanity there, the whole thing is very entertaining and amazingly insightful. It’s a satire on Polish music industry, and gives a rather repulsive, albeit not untrue, image of it.
The book actually got the most prestigious Polish lit award last year, and I can see why.
It hasn't been translated into English yet, and I don’t think it will translate well- it’s too much culture based, and there are too many puns there (see the title itself). Her previous book, Snow White and Russian Red, has been translated into English, and from what I can see here on TheLibraryThing reviews, has appealed to some young people in Europe. She wrote it when she was 19!

Eh Leute, kommt aus'm Arsch, Marsch jetzt und aufgewacht, hört die Signale, spürt das Fieber der Nacht, hört die Geschichte von der hässlichen Braut, der gründlich versauten, die kein Schwein traut.
