Summary/Abstract: The paper is an analysis of a 1958 memorial essay on Bruno Schulz by Hanna Mortkowicz-Olczakowa, focused on its two aspects. One is Schulz’s relationship with the writer Maria Kuncewiczowa, rarely addressed by scholars but important since her novel Cudzoziemka played a significant role in Schulz’s literary criticism. The other is Mortkowicz-Olczakowa’s memorial narration itself and her role in promoting the Drogobych writer’s myth. The memorial essay shows clear ambivalences as regards the myth of Schulz, most likely representing a mourning bias in the postwar reception ofhis writing.
