Diary
«“Ferdydurke is certainly a spontaneous work, but the Diary is even more so, and . . . even more rewarding.”—John Bayley, New York Review of Books
“A heroic translation. . . . English-speaking readers can finally experience the Diary as Gombrowicz intended it—as a single, coherent work . . . his major creative endeavor.”—Ruth Franklin, New Yorker
“Having this book in my hands, I felt a joy at the thought that strong personalities, like that of Gombrowicz, sooner or later find recognition thanks to the sheer intensity of their existence.”—Czeslaw Milosz, New York Times
“If ever a life demanded a diary, this was one.”—Paul West, Washington Post
“Yale University Press by reprinting in a beautiful fat paperback an updated, complete edition of the Diaries of Witold Gombrowicz has done a singular important, essential and remarkable job.”—Thomas McGonigle, ABC of Reading
“Widely considered the Polish author’s masterpiece . . . the Diary lacks for nothing: history, politics, philosophy, literature, art, music, love, death, humor, communism, Poland, Europe, writing—everything is there.”—Paris Review Daily
“The new complete version of Witold Gombrowicz’s Diary is one jubilant, gruesome, unsparing self-portrait.”—Adam Thirlwell, New Statesman
