Drohobych. Before leaving for Warsaw, Bruno Schulz writes a short letter to Zenon Waśniewski, to which he adds one of the artworks from The Booke of Idolatry.
In his pre-departure rush, Schulz only manages to write “a few words of thanks for a long letter”, in which Zenon Waśniewski, as it can be assumed, extensively presented the vicissitudes of his life and encouraged Schulz to visit Chełm on his way to Warsaw*. Schulz, pointing to the already completed program of stay, must refuse. He also writes that he has not yet found the time to “copy a rough draft of [...] the handwriting” for Kamena* but he promises to do so after his return.
He attaches “one small artwork as a pledge of further messages”. It is a work entitled Tribe of Pariahs* from the series The Booke of Idolatry*. Under the lower edge of the artwork stuck to the cardboard, he writes in pencil the dedication: “To my friend Zenon Waśniewski with best regards, Bruno Schulz”. (sr) (transl. mw)
