Adamowizna. Zofia Nałkowska receives an unknown article from Bruno Schulz.

Schulz sends Zofia Nałkowska* an unknown article on literary criticism. The text was not published anywhere before the outbreak of World War II and it is not known whether it was sent to any editorial office. Today it must be considered as a missing text*. Schulz worked on this article as early as in June 1939, and its excerpts were read by Nałkowska during their June meeting in Truskawiec*, which is suggested by a record in her Diaries: “Schulz sent me this article about criticism, the beginning of which he read to me there [i.e. in Truskawiec – M.R.]”1. (mr) (transl. mw)
