Kraków 2019, ZNAK, pp. 208, form. 15 x 21,5, hardcover, very good condition, on the title page dedication of the author to Barbara Nawratowicz.
Adam Zagajewski in the collection "Substance Disordered" leads the reader along the path of his thoughts: from life in freedom and law to Mahler's symphonies. He looks into Czapski's correspondence with Hering and lets himself be swept away by the unparalleled power of their conversation.
He peers nostalgically into Schulz's irrational Drohobych. He peeps at Herbert concentrating on his notebook in the now-forgotten Kunsthaus Dahl. He prompts the reader to be attentive. He brings the themes of entitlement and amazement under consideration. He recalls artists who are no longer with us: the great poets of our time and reflects on their message in the chaotic world of "today." He tries to reign in the disordered substance of literature.
