Cosmos and Pornografia: Two Novels Gombrowicz Witold Paperback
Here are two major works by the famed Polish novelist and dramatist Witold Gombrowicz. It is set in provincial Poland and narrated by a seedy, pathetic, and witty student, who is charming and appalling by turns, and whose voice is dense with the richly palpable description that characterizes Gombrowicz's writing. The first, Cosmos, a metaphysical thriller, revolves around an absurd investigation.
To serve their own secret eroticism, two aging intellectuals encourage a young couple to commit murder. The second, Pornografia, explores the sinister effect the young can have on the old. Although the adolescents are the weapons used to commit the crime, the four become conspirators before the deed is done.
