Drogobych. Bruno Schulz sends Zofia Nałkowska flowers to celebrate her name day.

We learn about the flowers (black and red roses) from an entry in the Diaries of Nałkowska* of 19 May 1934: “The room is dark, the curtains have not yet been moved apart, the air is stuffy from the still living name day flowers. Between them, the black and red roses Bruno Schulz was able to bestow on me all the way from there.”1.

In 1934, Nałkowska does not organize a name-day reception because of illness. She spends the day in her apartment in Warsaw* in the company of Bogusław Kuczyński* alone. (mr) (transl. mw)
