Although Witold Gombrowicz's unique, idiosyncratic writings include
a three-volume Diary, this voluminous document offers few facts
about his early life in Poland before his books were banned there
and he went into voluntary exile. Polish Memories-a series of
autobiographical sketches Gombrowicz composed for Radio Free Europe
during his years in Argentina in the late 1950s-fills the gap in
our knowledge. Written in a straightforward way without his famous
linguistic inventions, the book presents an engaging account of
Gombrowicz's childhood, youth, literary beginnings, and fellow
writers in interwar Poland and reveals how these experiences and
individuals shaped his seemingly outlandish concepts about the
self, culture, art, and society. In addition, the book helps
readers understand the numerous autobiographical allusions in his
fiction and brings a new level of understanding and appreciation to
his life and work.
