Drohobych. Bruno Schulz sends a letter, a manuscript and fourteen graphics to Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz.
Emboldened by the mocking tone of Witkiewicz’s letters*1, he replies in a similar style of a “fantastic buffoonery”, which he a kind of “writing face”2 characteristic of himself and Witkacy. The letter is accompanied by a manuscript and fourteen graphics, as probably in the previous letter Witkiewicz asked for artefacts that could enrich his collection of curiosities3. Although Schulz has fulfilled the request, Witkacy does not reply and acknowledge receipt of the parcel – to the surprise of Schulz, who is afraid that the literary form of his letter, hinging on aberration and self-mockery, could offend Witkiewicz.
