"Bruno Schulz. A brilliant architect of a unique linguistic existence, whose secret charm lies in his fertility, his richness, almost to the point of decaying with excessive verbal juice. Bruno, who could say everything in ten different ways, all of which were as accurate as a compass needle. Don Juan entertaining himself with language with unbridled, almost immoral passion, the most daring traveler through the topography of language..." Israeli writer David Grossman aptly described the author of The Street of Crocodiles, which emerged from Schulz's correspondence, a fragment of which is preserved in this Book of Letters. Scattered throughout like shards of a broken mirror are the seeds of Schulz's famous ornamental metaphors and uniquely vivid images. The Book of Letters was translated from Polish by Hanele Palková and is accompanied by extensive notes and an insightful study by the editor, as well as poet Jerzy Ficowski.
