Milan Kundera called Witold Gombrowicz "one of the great novelists
of our century." His most famous novel, "Cosmos," the recipient of
the 1967 International Prize for Literature, is now available in a
critically acclaimed translation, for the first time directly from
the Polish, by the award-winning translator Danuta Borchardt.
"Cosmos" is a metaphysical noir thriller narrated by Witold, a
seedy, pathetic, and witty student, who is charming and appalling
by turns. On his way to a relaxing vacation he meets the despondent
Fuks. As they set off together for a family-run pension in the
Carpathian Mountains they discover a dead bird hanging from a
string. Is this a strange but meaningless occurrence or is it the
beginning of a string of bizarre events? As the young men become
embroiled in the Chekhovian travails of the family running the
pension, Grombrowicz creates a gripping narrative where the reader
questions who is sane and who is safe?
