Polish Memories-a series of autobiographical sketches Gombrowicz composed for Radio Free Europe during his years in Argentina in the late 1950s-fills the gap in our knowledge.Written in a straightforward way without his famous linguistic inventions, the book presents an engaging account of Gombrowicz's childhood, youth, literary beginnings, and fellow writers in interwar Poland and reveals how these experiences and individuals shaped his seemingly outlandish concepts about the self, culture, art, and society. In addition, the book helps readers understand the numerous autobiographical allusions in his fiction and brings a new level of understanding and appreciation to his life and work. 606 $aAuthors, Polish$y20th century$vBiography 615 0$aAuthors, Polish 676 $a891.8/5/37 676 $aB 700 $aGombrowicz$b Witold$0257079 701 $aJohnston$b Bill$0742929 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786002503321 996 $aPolish memories$93715179 997 $aUNINA
