Beschreibung
The book offers a novel attempt at recapitulating Gombrowicz’s aesthetics in the postmodern Anglo-American context. It intends to fill, if partially, some lacunae on the map of Gombrowicz’s Translation Studies and to inspire further debates on the related aspects of postmodern existentialism of his works.
