Wislawa Szymborska's poems are admired around the world, and her
unsparing vision, tireless wit, and deep sense of humanity are
cherished by countless readers. Unknown to most of them, however,
Szymborska also worked for several decades as a columnist,
reviewing a wide variety of books under the unassuming title
"Nonrequired Reading."
As readers of her poems would expect, the short prose pieces
collected here are anything but ordinary. Reflecting the author's
own eclectic tastes and interests, the pretexts for these
ruminations range from books on wallpapering, cooking, gardening,
and yoga, to more lofty volumes on opera and world literature.
Unpretentious yet incisive, these charming pieces are on a par with
Szymborska's finest lyrics, tackling the same large and small
questions with a wonderful curiosity.
