About this title

Review:

"Extravagant, brilliant, disturbing, brave, funny--wonderful. . . . Long live its sublime mockery."--Susan Sontag, from the foreword "Ferdydurke, among its centrifugal charms, includes some of the truest and funniest literary satire in print."--John Updike "This promises to be, at last, the English translation of Ferdydurke thatwe have all been waiting for."--Stanislaw Baranczak, Harvard University
