Items related to A Kind of Testament
"A Kind of Testament" is part autobiography and part justification of the life's work of one of Poland's most important novelists and playwrights. Written in France in 1968, this personal testimony is more than just a life history or a critique of his work. "A Kind of Testament" stands as a testament to how Gombrowicz came to be the person and writer that he was and overlap between the two.
