“This is a very imaginative book. If you find earnest contemporary crap boring, and need a fresh example of what freedom of imagination, combined with acute intelligence, look like when they are together, then go find this book and read it!”

Exquisitely crafted self-deprecation and satire from a 1930s-poland still somehow rings true even in its depiction of class disparity and lambasting of institutionalized learning and bad authors. Kinda made me not want to publish anything I write, lest it be taken as awful or pretentious but not really.”
