Unfortunately I can only comment on The Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass. This novel exposes the reader to a world that is clay in the hands of the narrator. Schultz imagination is astounding. It is never apparent if the narrator himself belonged in a santorium, but that is part of the intrique of the book. The line between sanity and insanity is blurred. The real world and the world in the mind of the narrator flow together, intermingle, and even sit down for a cup of coffee and a donut. This book is a should read. Anyone tired of the same plots, with the same characters, the same outcomes, and the same world should read Schultz

His name is MISSPELLED at the head of EVERY OTHER PAGE. The reproductions of his artwork are poor. Schulz is among civilization's greatest authors. I bought this because I wanted to have a hardcover copy--then gave it to someone else, with apologies. I had another complaint or two about the organization of this volume, but without having it at hand to refer to, I won't try to remember. The newest Penguin edition has three stories which are new to me; that will make it the 4th version of these two slim volumes which I've sprung for to date, and I'm not a collector--just enthusiastic about brilliance.
A hard book to find but once you do, well the ultimate sadness that this life was cut short will haunt you as much as the terrific stories.
... An absolutely WONDERFUL book. The images not only come out of the page and materialise, but you can smell the smells, taste the tastes, feel the heat of the sun on your skin, as you vividly dream together with the author. No movie, no visual depiction has quite the comparable ability to make you feel like you have been allowed for a moment to step into it's world of imagination anchored here in a small 1930's town in eastern Poland. It contains the light and wonder but also the darkness and pain of living. The line between the two is never clear, the perception of the world constantly slipping into the surreal.
... with this book as part of the curriculum, I can only regret that this author is so little known outside his country, as it would seem natural for him to be recognised as part of the world literary heritage.

Bruno Schultz is one of my favorite odd and little-known writers, and I still own an old Penguin paperback, "The Street of Crocodiles". A wonderful escape into the vanished world of pre WWII Galicia, Ukraine populated by Jews, Poles and Ukrainians - although Shultz's world is strictly private, surrealist and fantastic, full of sounds and smells. Shultz's life was tragically cut short on a Drohobych street (city in Ukraine, where he lived), in 1942, when he was murdered by an SS officer.
'....enters USL.....' yes he does. This guy enters upper stage left, walks DOWN the wall, across the stage, hangs up his coat and then walks back up the wall.....
People appearing out of buckets, having their hands nailed to pieces of wood....water faucets that get picked up, moved and still work...
An amazing act of imagination, if you can, read the book and then find the 'Theatre de Complicitie'....
(Please note that Drochobycz was at the time in Poland, not Ukraine as some mention, and Bruno Schultz was a Polish Jew writing in Polish.)

Having been fortunate to grow up with this book as part of the curriculum, I can only regret that this author is so little known outside his country, as it would seem natural for him to be recognised as part of the world literary heritage.
But by the same token - my immesurable gratitude to Simon McBurney whose ability to recognise genius and his inspired interpretation with Theatre de Complicite brought this writing out to many people.
