Na mostach Irzykowskiego
On Irzykowski’s Bridges

Review: Sylwia Panek, Mosty Karola Irzykowskiego. Poznań 2019

Summary/Abstract: The review discusses Sylwia Panek’s book on Karol Irzykowski’s “bridges,” i.e. his encounters as a literary and cultural critic with the founders of the Polish modernism (Stefan Żeromski, Zofia Nałkowska, Wilhelm Feldman), with the anthropologist Georg Simmel, and with the theoretician Viktor Sklovsky. Presenting Irzykowski’s dialogues with someone else’s thought, Panek reconstructs the writer’s conceptions of literature and his workshop as a critic. The reviewer fully appreciates Panek’s presentation and analysis.
