More about the book
Exploring the themes of loss and the aftermath of war, Jerzy Ficowski's short stories and sketches reinterpret the mythologization of reality inspired by Bruno Schulz. Set against the backdrop of postwar Poland, these narratives blend memory, religious rituals, and daily life with elements of the magical. The author evokes a haunting atmosphere, suggesting a sinister presence that reflects the disintegration of the past and the alienation of the present, as the narrator grapples with the remnants of a once-familiar world.
