he is probably even more known abroad than in Poland!

Bruno Schulz (1892-1942)
A Polish author sadly neglected by publishers and public but whose genius has been recognized by such established authors as John Updike and Isaac Bashevis Singer. He wrote two books of stories, Sklepy cyanomonowe (1934; English translation published in the U.S. as Cinnamon Shops, in Britain as The Street of Crocodiles, 1963) and Sanatorium pod klepsydra (1937; English translation, Sanatorium under the Sign of the Hourglass, 1978), both of which Schulz illustrated. Although Schulz is credited with the first Polish translation of Kafka's The Trial, he only attached his name to that work to ensure its publication.
Schulz's drawings are characterized by sexual idolatry bordering on sado-masochism. He made his living teaching art at a local school. His Drawings have been issued both separately and with his selected Letters, which include an exchange with Witold Gombrowicz -- whose work Schulz admired and lectured upon.
Lovers of dark literature and art are indebted to Jerzy Ficowski for his strenuous efforts to preserve the creative works of Schulz.
Schulz was murdered by the Nazi SS after talking a walk one night in 1942 and wandering into the "Aryan" section of his native town, Drohobycz. How ironic that Schulz's work embodies a kind of search for what is intrinsically noble, and the Sanskrit root-word "arya" means "noble." Pictured: Bruno Schulz, c. 1933.
