The greatest prose writer of twentieth-century Polish letters, Witold Gombrowicz is also recognized as a figure whose literary standing is comparable to Proust, Joyce, Kafka, Musil, or Beckett. Yet his reputation in the United States and the English-speaking world has never been equal to his renown in continental Europe or in Latin America.
