Commentary To Books Sklepy cynamonowe / Sanatorium pod Klepsydrą
The collected fiction of "one of the most original imaginations in modern Europe" (Cynthia Ozick)Bruno Schulz's untimely death at the hands of a Nazi stands as one of the great losses to modern literature. During his lifetime, his work found little critical regard, but word of his remarkable talents gradually won him an international readership. This volume brings together his complete fiction, including three short stories and his final surviving work, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass. Illustrated with Schulz's original drawings, this edition beautifully showcases the distinctive surrealist vision of one of the twentieth century's most gifted and influential writers.

Collected Stories is one of those collections that keep literary reviewers and prestigious literary journals buzzing with over excitement. Whether it is his collection of Street of Crocodiles or the later collection Sanatorium under the Sign of an Hourglass, Schulz work is very well recognised within the upper brow annuals of literary fiction. Keeping this mind, I personally tend to find difficulties reading this type of work as it is supposed to be the cream of the crop and held to such a highAs someone who lived through the most turbulent times of the 20th Century, Bruno Schulz had a wealth of nightmare experiences to inform his writing. Yet he chose not to directly address contemporary horrors, instead creating a magical fictionalised world based on his hometown. His works are surreal and for me, at least, deeply unsettling. There's something about these simple stories taken to the extremes of wild imagination that leave me feeling off kilter, like I just saw through a doorway into
Even though I found The Street of Crocodiles nearly impossible when I first read it, I now find myself thinking of this book often. As we enter my favorite season, the target of Schulz's fevered obsession, I can no longer think of summer as anything other than a season of torpor. Slowly curling vines and dense, overripe underbrush pair with images of Schulz's father's many metamorphoses and descent into madness. His words haunt my daydreams. As I was walking through the forest near my parents'
Another book that came up in two of my classes this semester. Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) was a Polish writer. His output was not huge (he was gunned down during World War II) and mainly consisted of two collections of short stories: "The Street of the Crocodiles" and "Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass." Both take Schulz's childhood as the focal point and both deeply reimagine it. I guess you could call Schulz's style magical realism. For example, during the course of the two collections,
Schulz's prose is like nothing else I've read. Every sentence is a work of art; every paragraph is a poem. It's endlessly inventive. For the first few pages, this was actually annoying--it took a while to attune to the high register of language. For the remaining 300 pages, though, it was a delight to revel in the chaotic carnival. There are no rules and boundaries in Schulz's writings; things can become people, and vice versa, and sometimes they become something blended in between. Time has no
Third time reading, first time with the new translation which I would certainly recommend over the old. As always some of the stories (generally those without the Father in) dont particularly do much for me, but the entirety of Crocodiles in particular (esp if you see it as essentially a novel) is just breathtaking.
(This review is only for The Street of Crocodiles - the remaining four stories will be added when read.)Schulz has penned an utterly gorgeous collection of disjointed set pieces here, placed in his native Galician city in a chromagnostic variation of the world, one wherein colour and sensation come alive and stain organic beings with their prismatic hues; where inanimate objects, especially home furnishings like wallpaper and cupboards, doors and closets, have been soaked with the memories of
