Regions of the Great Heresy: Bruno Schulz a Biographical Portrait

by Jerzy Ficowski

Book Overview

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."
