Summary/Abstract: "A Guide to Bruno Schulz" [Bruno Schulz. Przewodnik], published by Krytyka Polityczna,could be an opportunity to shed some new light on the writer’s work, but it turns out a failure. Even though the publisher believes that Schulz’s fiction and drawings are a challenge to the human sciences, the essays included in the volume are superficial and disappointing. The reviewer analyzes particular elements of the collection – interpretive essayson Schulz’s fiction, film studies, and short stories and comics based on Schulz’s works– to conclude that they are inadequate and, as regards the comics and short stories, quite expendable.
