Exactly sixty years after the now-legendary Polish writer Bruno Schulz (1892–1942) was murdered by the Nazis in his hometown, Drohobycz, publication in the U.S. of Regions of the Great Heresy is a cause for literary celebration. In this seminal work, the Polish poet Jerzy Ficowski, widely regarded as the world's foremost authority on Schulz, reconstructs the enigmatic life story and evokes the fictional vision of this prodigiously gifted Jewish Pole. This first American edition, translated, annotated, and introduced by Theodosia Robertson, is augmented with additional chapters by Ficowski and includes reproductions of many of Schulz’s paintings and personal letters.
