Schulz Disseminated

Abstract

The editorial articulates a suspicion that had Schulz lived long enough, possibly even until today, he would have been greatly surprised by his growing fame abroad, like perhaps many other twentieth-century schlemiel-heroes of literature and the humanities, such as Kafka, de Saussure, Propp or Bakhtin. The present number of Schulz/Forum is then introduced as a collective testimony of his popularity outside the Polish language.
