"The"Diary" is truly a work of magisterial proportions in scale, depth, range, intimacy, originality, provocativeness. . . . Indeed there are some for whom the"Diary" stands even higher than Gombrowicz's own fiction." Louis Iribarne" "I am absolutely sure that this translation will be considered a great event in American intellectual life." --Stanislaw Baranczak "Having this book in my hands, I felt a joy at the thought that strong personalities like that of Gombrowicz, sooner or later find recognition thanks to the sheer intensity of their existence." --Czeslaw Milosz, "New York Review of Books" "The "Diary" is truly a work of magisterial proportions--in scale, depth, range, intimacy, originality, provocativeness. . . . Indeed there are some for whom the "Diary" stands even higher than Gombrowicz's own fiction." --Louis Iribarne
This is the first English translation of Witold Gombrowicz's Diary, the most Polish and the most universal of his works. Gombrowicz (1904-1969), who left Poland at age thirty-five and never returned, whose writings were banned in his own country, has had an impact on Polish literature unlike any of his contemporaries. But he changed more than the image of Polish letters. If literature cannot influence national character, it can at least influence the national image, its understanding and evaluation of itself. That is what Gombrowicz changed: the image and stereotype of the Pole.
