Exactly 60 years after his death, Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) remains one of the 20th century's greatest and most enigmatic writers--still the subject of front-page controversy. Here renowned Polish poet Jerzy Ficowski presents the first biography of the man who, in the words of Isaac Bashevis Singer, "wrote sometimes like Kafka, sometimes like Proust, and at times succeeded in reaching depths that neither of them reached."
Jerzy Ficowski's decades-long dedication to preserving the memory of Bruno Schulz has become legendary. This book is testament to his labors. It will long be the standard biography.
