Wikipedia: Witold Marian Gombrowicz (August 4, 1904 -- July 24, 1969) was a Polish writer. His works are characterised by deep psychological analysis, a certain sense of paradox and absurd, anti-nationalist flavor. In 1937, he published his first novel, Ferdydurke, which presented many of his usual themes: the problems of immaturity and youth, the creation of identity in interactions with others, and an ironic, critical examination of class roles in Polish society and culture. He gained fame only during the last years of his life, but is now considered one of the foremost figures of Polish literature. His diaries were published in 1969 and are, according to the Paris Review, "widely considered his masterpiece." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

It arrives, it manifests, it is a relationship."' This book enacts language as arrival and manifestation, composed as it was in the go-between of an email exchange. Both of us were (and are) interested in a poetics of constraint, of resistance, of inventiveness, and in the process of homolinguistic (English to English) translation. To while away a few winter months with some fun and a challenge, we devised a translation exercise. In "Alphabetic Jitterbug," Steven supplied the first text based on an alphabetic accumulation, and Hilary determined a first method of translation of that section: For each word, find in the dictionary the first (or a nearby) word of the same kind (for example, a noun for a noun), and do a replacement. This method was used a few times to produce successive texts; then in "Can a Paddy Sweat?"...
