Review of „The Blind Spots of Schulzology”, edited by Małgorzata Kitowska-Łysiak

Abstract

In Białe plamy w schulzologii [The Blind Spots of Schulzology], a collection edited by Małgorzata Kitowska-Łysiak (2010), contributors focus on the relationship between Schulz’s fiction and his paintings, the problems of ethnicity and sexuality, and some newly discovered details of the writer’s life. In his discussion of the book, the reviewer stresses the increasing role of psychoanalytic, feminist and ethnicity-centered approaches, as well as the importance of the “iconic turn” for the study Schulz. The collection includes articles by Ewa Kuryluk, Małgorzata Kitowska-Łysiak, Shalom Lindenbaum, Ariko Kato, Jan Gondowicz, and Małgorzata Smorąg-Goldberg.
