Hardcover. Condition: Good. As fresh and unexpected, wise and whimsical as her poems, Szymborska's prose pieces express her eclectic tastes and interests of several decades as a review-writing columnist: from books on gardening, wall-papering, beauty, birds, dogs, and yoga, to more lofty volumes on the love lives of Polish kings, opera, and literature. This is writing altogether unpretentious but incisive, and exhibiting a ferocious curiosity. 233p.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 233 pages. Published in 2002. Retrospective collection of short essays. One of Wislawa Szymborska's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. There is NO equivalent edition in the Polish original. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Wislawa Szymborska's "Nonrequired Reading: Prose Pieces" in their felicitous English translation by Clare Cavanagh. That is to say, a great poet's mandatory prose. "Wislawa Szymborska's poems are admired around the world. Her unsparing vision, tireless wit, and deep sense of humanity are cherished by countless readers. Unknown to most of them, however, Szymborska also worked for several decades as a columnist, reviewing a wide variety of books under the unassuming title 'Nonrequired Reading'. As readers of her poems would expect, the pieces collected here are anything but ordinary. Reflecting the author's own eclectic tastes and interests, the pretexts for these ruminations range from books on wallpapering, cooking, gardening, and yoga to more lofty volumes on opera and world literature. Unpretentious yet incisive, these charming pieces are on a par with Szymborska's finest lyrics, tackling the same large and small questions with a wonderful curiosity" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Wislawa Szymborska collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996. One of the greatest poet/writers of the 20th century. A fine copy.
