The Street of Crocodiles

The Street of Crocodiles

by Bruno Schulz

  • LITERATURE
  • 2008
  • PAPER
  • 368 PAGES

These lyrical stories tap Schulz's memories of his childhood and the people, places and events of provincial Poland in the early 20th century. As much memoir as fiction, the fragments and dreamy prose pieces evoke the Galician town of Drohobycz -- where Schulz lived and was killed by a Nazi officer in 1942. Schulz features prominently in Cynthia Ozick's novel "The Messiah of Stockholm."  (PLD24, $16.00)
