Łódź. A magazine called Kuźnica presents announcements of Jerzy Ficowski asking for all news about Bruno Schulz and his work.

Jerzy Ficowski*, a twenty-four-year-old enthusiast of Schulz’s work, asks the editors of Kuźnica to print the following text: “To all who are in possession of manuscripts (literary works, letters, etc.), [!] or drawings by Bruno Schulz, or they could give me information about himself and his work – would you please be willing to inform me about it at the following address: Włochy near Warsaw, ul. Wielkie Łuki 19, apartment 1. I need materials and information for my monograph on the work of Bruno Schulz”1. Ficowski’s advert appears in the section “Materials on Deceased Writers” next to Anatol Stern’s request for materials on Bolesław Leśmian*. In response to the announcement in Kuźnica, Paweł Horoszowski* writes a letter to Ficowski. Similar advertisements were published in other periodicals: Przekrój, Tygodnik Powszechny, Nowiny Literackie, Dziennik Polski and Odrodzenie. (mr) (transl. mw)
