"An accessible, exhilarating introduction to Schulz’s oeuvre"
--The Washington Post
“Stanley Bill’s translations come as an invigorating reminder of the uncanny verbal sorcery behind this unique voice and vision.... The results, hauntingly phrased, can be suitably weird—but never impenetrable... Bill catches the outrageous wit of Schulz’s nightmare tableaux,”
--The Wall Street Journal

Bruno Schulz was a Polish Jewish writer and artist who has influenced writers including Salman Rushdie, Roberto Bolaño, David Grossman and Cynthia Ozick. He was born and lived most of his life in the town of Drohobych, once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then Poland, and now part of Ukraine. He published two collections of short stories - Cinnamon Shops and The Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass - during his lifetime. Schulz was shot and killed by a German SS officer in Drohobych in 1942. His unfinished novel, The Messiah, was lost in the Holocaust.
Stanley Bill is Professor of Polish Studies and Director of Slavonic Studies at the University of Cambridge. He has translated works by Jacek Dukaj and Czeslaw Milosz's unfinished novel The Mountains of Parnassus. He is founder and editor-at-large of the news and opinion website Notes from Poland.
