Witold Gombrowicz (1904 Poland - 1969 France)

"Step down from the pedestal, let the bodyguards and servants go, hang the ermine on the nail in the wall and go out into the street naked to fight with the passers by - yes, that’s my style." He was the youngest of all writers. Adults often elicited a "disgust of maturity" in him. His novel, "Pornography" is a festival relieving us from maturity.

Speak, memory
