In 1953, still living as an expatriate in Argentina, he began his Diary with one of literature's most memorable openings:"MondayMe.TuesdayMe.WednesdayMe.ThursdayMe."Gombrowicz's Diary grew to become a vast collection of essays, short notes, polemics, and confessions on myriad subjects ranging from political events to literature to the certainty of death. Not a traditional journal, Diary is instead the commentary of a brilliant and restless mind. Widely regarded as a masterpiece, this brilliant work compelled Gombrowicz's attention for a decade and a half until he penned his final entry in France, shortly before his death in 1969.Long out of print in English, Diary is now presented in a convenient single volume featuring a new preface by Rita Gombrowicz, the author's widow and literary executor. This edition also includes ten previously unpublished pages from the 1969 portion of the diary. 410 0$aMargellos world republic of letters book. 606 $aAuthors, Polish$y20th century$vDiaries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, Polish 676 $a891.8537 700 $aGombrowicz$b Witold$0257079 701 $aVallee$b Lillian$01032884 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452832803321 996 $aDiary$92451013 997 $aUNINA
