![]() ![]() “Cuculiner” is an important part of Ferdydurke, evidently, since it is on the back cover of my copy, as quoted from W. Posted by Lale – cuculiner – l’encuculement For anyone interested in Polish letters (or literature and philosphy in general), this is a great book with entries by Zbigniew Herbert (a fascinating account of the Templars) and Jerzy Stempowski who tells a fantastic story about being trapped in a remote Carpathian smugglers’ hideout, in the winter and near death, with a random assortment of books during WW2. Last night I pulled “Four Decades of Polish Essays” from my shelves and found selections from Gombrowicz’s diary regarding the book we’re reading. I’m reading Gargantua and Pantagruel which seems like a good compliment to Ferdydurke. I love Susan Sontag… How long do I have to finish? Unfortunately I won’t have time to read it all in one or two sittings (my preferred way to read a novel) because of school assignments. I just received my copy of Ferdydurke and I’m reading the Susan Sontag foreward. ![]() Very good choice of literature, one of the best (used to be very controversial) Polish authors. ![]()
