He was our model ofliterature and humor - absurd humor, at that I remember a time when Czesław Miłosz wrote in an article reviewing my book about Gombrowicz ["Gra w Gombrowicza, 1982 - ed.\} that while he couldn't deny my erudition, he was shocked that my views were so unbecoming of a Pole. He meant that he expected me to fall to my knees before Gombrowicz and confess my sins, or perhaps attack him - after all, what he wrote was harshly critical of Poland, our traditions and ethos. Meanwhile, we had just finished reading Mrożek, and were fully on his (and Gombrowicz's) side.}, type={Interview}, title={The Sullen Humorist}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/126933/PDF-MASTER/7_ACADEMIA_EN_3_39_2013_Jarzebski_The_Sullen.pdf}, }
