Product Information
The twentieth-century artist Bruno Schulz was born an Austrian, lived as a Pole, and died a Jew. First a citizen of the Habsburg monarchy, he would, without moving, become the subject of the West Ukrainian People's Republic, the Second Polish Republic, the USSR, and, finally, the Third Reich. Yet to use his own metaphor, Schulz remained throughout a citizen of the Republic of Dreams. He was a master of twentieth-century imaginative fiction who mapped the anxious perplexities of his time; Isaac Bashevis Singer called him "one of the most remarkable writers who ever lived." Schulz was also a talented illustrator and graphic artist whose masochistic drawings would catch the eye of a sadistic Nazi officer. Schulz's art became the currency in which he bought life. Drawing on extensive new reporting and archival research, Benjamin Balint chases the inventive murals Schulz painted on the walls of an SS villa--the last traces of his vanished world--into multiple dimensions of the artist's life and afterlife. Sixty years after Schulz was murdered, those murals were miraculously rediscovered, only to be secretly smuggled by Israeli agents to Jerusalem. The ensuing international furor summoned broader perplexities, not just about who has the right to curate orphaned artworks and to construe their meanings, but about who can claim to stand guard over the legacy of Jews killed in the Nazi slaughter. By re-creating the artist's milieu at a crossroads not just of Jewish and Polish culture but of art, sex, and violence, Bruno Schulz itself stands as an act of belated restitution, offering a kaleidoscopic portrait of a life with all its paradoxes and curtailed possibilities.

Reviews
Balint does a fine job of capturing Schulz's life and his world before the war, his deeply peculiar mind and the fascinating figures in whose orbit he moved., An important new account that sheds light on many previously unknown aspects of Schulz's life and posthumous existence.... A welcome addition to our fund of information about a remarkable European master., Spellbinding.... Balint's dogged research and lucid analyses shed light on the interplay between Schulz's psychology and his art. It's a fascinating portrait of the artist in extremis., A literary-historical feat. [Balint] has stepped beyond the legend of Bruno Schulz as a writer and artist to explore the nature of legend itself, especially its historical, cultural, and political implications.... Aside from Balint's deft handling of Schulz's life and artwork, his meticulous treatment of the murder--the lead-up to it and its aftermath--is crucial to the central questions of the book: whether Schulz's greater cultural legacy comes from his writing or his art, and how his martyrdom as a victim of the Holocaust figures into his reputation.... Balint challenges us to look beyond our own noses and cultivate a perspective that spans decades, centuries, or even millennia., Balint vividly, insightfully, and affectingly casts light on long-shadowed Schulz and his startlingly original work, composing a freshly enlightening, harrowing, and invaluable chapter in the perpetual history of genocide and the courage and transcendence of artists., A well-informed consideration of the life and legacy of the Polish Jewish writer and artist who died during World War II.... In this incisive portrait, Balint also delves into the enormous influence of Schultz on Philip Roth, Cynthia Ozick, and Jonathan Safran Foer, among many others writers. A poignant, passionate revisiting of an important literary and artistic voice., A well-informed consideration of the life and legacy of the Polish Jewish writer and artist who died during World War II.... In this incisive portrait, Balint also delves into the enormous influence of Schulz on Philip Roth, Cynthia Ozick, and Jonathan Safran Foer, among many others writers. A poignant, passionate revisiting of an important literary and artistic voice., Offers not just an astute biographical portrait but an investigation into the contested rituals of remembrance.... Balint's meticulous account of the 'fresco fiasco,' which saw Schulz's last works forcibly claimed by the Israeli state, raises grave issues about 'the stewardship of suffering.', Balint tells this story--which turns out to be multiple stories, obscured by the fog of war and rumor's sfumato--and virtuosically relates them to Schulz's own tales, while providing the clearest, most evenhanded account to date of the tangled afterlife of the Master of Drohobych.... [Balint is] an unflaggingly curious and fastidious critic.... and demonstrates with sensitivity how in the clash between so-called intellectual property rights and so-called moral rights, the only sure loser is the artist himself, especially if he is no longer around to defend (or define) himself., [Schulz's] reach, eventually, was global. The cult of Schulz, counting literary household names like Philip Roth, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Isaac Bashevis Singer (who, Balint gossips, liked Schulz better even than Kafka), proves it.... Schulz gets compared to Kafka because of his dreamy, disconcerting stories, but in Balint's book, a version of Schulz emerges that is closer to one of Kafka's characters., Engaging and provocative.... This biography, which weaves well-chosen, colourful threads from Schulz's writings into the threadbare fabric of his days, stands as the best brief introduction to the author currently available in English., What a wonderfully empathetic biography Balint has written, so vividly does he bring Schulz back to life, both as a writer and an artist of prodigious, otherworldly talents., Balint reflects on the meaning of the controversy over who owns Schulz's murals--a debate about the location of Jewish memory and the question of its legitimate home-land. 'How does Schulz's orphaned art,' he asks, 'figure in the politics of erasure?' It is a poignant, cosmic question with no easy answers., Balint's account of Schulz's life and art is rich and captivating. . . . Schulz the visual artist is still too little and too imperfectly known. Much work remains to be done on this aspect of his creativity, and to recentre our understanding of his artistic legacy alongside his legacy as a writer. Bruno Schulz makes a significant step in this direction, and will be of interest to both the scholarly and the casual reader. For the success of this effort, Balint merits much praise., Excellent.... An absorbing, terrifying history of a special writer who deserves to be known for reasons entirely apart from the historical nightmare that engulfed him., I've never before read [a biography] that caused me to bolt upright midway through, as if its subject had just come back from the dead., Balint's thoroughly researched book, its notes as engaging as its text, does full justice to his complex subject, placing Schulz in context while advocating sensitively for his place in the pantheon of the great creatives of the mid-twentieth century.
