About the book >.>.> Long before he was known as a writer of dazzling prose Bruno Schulz one of the greatest Polish authors of the twentieth century had been active as an engraver drawer and painter. These artistic inclinations were revealed early in his childhood. He writes about them in the story “The Age of Genius” where the narrator describes a young boy’s almost spasmodic process of recording his visions on old journals and piles of scrap paper. These pictorial manifestations of a child’s enchantment should be read as something more than mere literary fiction: they are a record of the author’s true memories. This important biographical information is confirmed in a direct confession in one of Schulz’s letters to the outstanding painter novelist drama- tist and philosopher Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz. (MP)
