This book is the first critical attempt made in any language to
re-examine the entire oeuvre of Bruno Jasień ski
(1901-1938). It takes into account the writer's lifelong concerns
but places them in the context of the universal value of his
writing, generated by his modernist passions and his fascination
with the grotesque - an artistic device that was consonant with his
need to portray life in all its complexities. The author relies on
the grotesque as an element that unifies Jasień ski's
futuristic poetry with his prose. Especially important in this
regard is the close reading of Jasień ski's satiric
grotesques written in the Soviet Union. The author does not avoid
the intricacies and difficult questions of Jasień ski's
ideological commitment but focuses mainly on the consequences that
the highly ambivalent and ambiguous nature of the grotesque has on
the interpretation of his work.
