„Polish Kafka” w Ameryce, czyli co o Schulzu pisali pierwsi amerykańscy badacze jego twórczości
The “Polish Kafka” in America or, How First American Schulz Scholars Approached His Work

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on first scholarly articles devoted to Schulz’s works that were published in American journals. Written by Henry Joseph Wegrocki in 1946, “Masochistic Motives in the Literary and Graphic Art of Bruno Schulz,” is a psychiatric analys of masochism and its traces in Schulz’s short stories and drawings. Olga Lukashevich’s “Bruno Schulz’s‘The Street of Crocodiles’. A Study in Creativity and Neurosis” (1968) suggests reading the first collection of short stories in the spirit of Otto Rank’s category of the artiste manqué. The last article, by Colleen M. Taylor, “Childhood Revisited: The Writings of Bruno Schulz” (1969), analyses the reasons why the writer leaves the real world behind to enter the world of childhood.
