Ghetu. "This Hermetic Legislature is a tribute to Bruno Schulz and the third such homage volume from Ex Occidente Press. At the end of a curious parallel tra…ck of imagination the Twentieth Century is frozen by the memory of early spring snows, the lascivious gaze of tradesmen, dark July nights and the chatter of exotic birds. Every face in the crowd is as still as a travelling waxwork exhibit. It is an Age of Genius writ in crumbing ledgers and announced in the margins of charlatans' advertisements. Everywhere the agony and ecstasy of its times may be read. Upon every mouldering wall there is a rich mural of creation and beneath every glittering plastic jewel of technology hides an ancient fermentation. In each shop window, with its teetering mannequins, a universe of magical forms unfolds a pageant of infinite life begging to be rewritten, to live again!" Contributors include George Berguno, Stephen J. Clark, Rhys Hughes, Joel Lane, Mark Valentine, Charles Schneider, John Howard, D.P. Watt, Colin Insole, Reggie Oliver, R.B. Russell, Mark Samuels and others. De luxe binding, illustrated endpapers, marker ribbon, foil stamping on full-cloth cover material - the works.

A highly desirable collection, uncommon in the market. ~OOO~ [2.5P] A highly-acclaimed short story homage volume to Polish Jewish writer, fine artist, literary critic and art teacher Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), widely regarded as one of the great Polish-language prose stylists of the 20th century. Schulz was shot and killed by a Gestapo officer, in 1942 while walking back home toward Drohobycz Ghetto with a loaf of bread. The stories in this book are written by George Berguno, Rhys Hughes, Karim Ghahwagi, Stephen J. Clark, Joel Lane, Mark Valentine, Oliver Smith, John Howard, Charles Schneider, D.P. Watt, Dominy Clements, Adam S. Cantwell, Douglas Thompson, Colin Insole, Mark Samuels, Reggie Oliver, Anna Taborska, Michael Cisco, R.B. Russell. 'Some of these tales pay tribute to Schulz by including him as a character or reworking events in his life; others do so by telling stories in what one might call Schulzian prose. All of them, though, contribute in one way or another to the formation of a picture of the regrettably absent man and his work.' - The Editors.
