AUTHOR
SUMMARY
[Originally, these two books were published separately. The following is from a review of Pornographia:] "'Why this disgraceful passion for spying on people?' the narrator asks himself....The apologia, or diagnosis, when it comes, is not especially cogent or engaging....The ambiguious apotheosis of youth and its freshness and beauty in contrast to the ugliness of age, the equivocal glorification of adolesence over adulthood--all this is only vaguely Humbertian. It is only vaguely anything....One realizes and admires Gombrowicz's sensitiveness and subtlety, but would like to know what he is being sensitive to and subtle about."Gombrowicz, Witold is the author of 'Cosmos and Pornografia Two Novels', published 1994 under ISBN 9780802151599 and ISBN 0802151590.
