Listy Witolda Gombrowicza do Leo Lipskiego
Witold Gombrowicz’s Letters to Leo Lipski

Summary/Abstract: The epistolary dialogue between Witold Gombrowicz and Leo Lipski is an overlookedepisode in the history of Polish literature. Their correspondence began with the “Bubercase,” i.e. Gombrowicz’s idea that Lipski should put him in touch with Martin Buber. Thematerial presented here consists of hitherto unknown letters by Gombrowicz to Lipski,archived at the Kultura Literary Institute in the Parisian suburb Maisons-Laffitte, as wellas a note in which Lipski details their relationship. To reconstruct the context of thiscorrespondence Sadzik has also drawn on other previously unexamined materials, suchas Lipski’s correspondence with Jerzy Giedroyc (also at the Kultura archive) as well as thecollection of the Archives of Polish Emigration in Toruń.
