Bruno Schulz: Regions of the Great Heresy Book

"Bruno Schulz was one of the great writers....[His] verbal art strikes us—stuns, even—with its overload of beauty."—John Updike Exactly sixty years after his death, Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) remains one of the twentieth century's greatest and most enigmatic writers—still the subject of front-page controversy. Here the renowned Polish poet Jerzy Ficowski presents the first biography of the man who, in the words of Isaac Bashevis Singer, "wrote sometimes like Kafka, sometimes like Proust, and at times succeeded in reaching depths that neither of them reached." In his novels and stories—The Street of Crocodiles, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass, and his missing masterpiece, The Messiah—Schulz employed a baroque, poetic style with a stunning surrealist edge. Including many of Schulz's paintings and personal letters as well as new information on the Mossad's theft of Schulz's murals from Poland in 2001, Regions of the Great Heresy is a cause for international celebration—a long-awaited work that will spark a renaissance of interest in Schulz's life. Published on the 60th anniversary of Schulz's death. 16 pages of color, 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations.Read More
