Know about the book -
The Witkiewicz Reader is written by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz and published by Northwestern University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0810109948 (ISBN 10) and 9780810109940 (ISBN 13).
Forgotten during the Stalin years, Stanislaw Witkiewicz (1885-1939) was rediscovered in his native Poland only after the liberalization of 1956, when his works came to play a major role in freeing the arts from socialist realism. This collection, the first anthology in English, presents Witkiewicz in the full range of his creative and intellectual activities. The Witkiewicz Reader includes excerpts from three novels; four complete plays; letters to Malinowski; and selections from aesthetic, social, and philosophical essays detailing Witkiewicz's theory of Pure Form, his metaphysical system, and his apocalyptic view of the fate of civilization.
