Summary

lourenzo

“And Boom, Bam, Pyckal the Baron by the belly clutched, and the Accomptant Cieciszowski there the Elders titter so they Totter, here Pani Dowalewiczowa squeals, tears sheds, squeals and Bam, Boom roars; Spits, snorts from laughter the reverend Parson, and Muszka and Tuśka so Skip about now their noses are besnotted! Laughter then Boomed!”

Janusz Bruchalski illustrates Trans-Atlantyk.

« “I, Gombrowicz, make the acquaintance of a puto (a queer) who is in love with a young Pole, and circumstances make me arbiter of the situation: I can throw the young man into the queer’s arms or make him stay with his father, a very honourable, dignified and old-fashioned Polish major.

“To throw him into the puto’s arms is to deliver him up to vice, to set him on roads which lead nowhere, into the troubled waters of the abnormal, of limitless liberty, of an uncontrollable future.
“To wrench him away from the queer and make him return to his father is to keep him within the confines of the honest Polish tradition.
“What should I choose? Fidelity to the past ... or the freedom to create oneself as one will? Shut him into his atavistic form ... or open the cage, let him fly away and do what he likes! Let him create himself!”

Gombrowicz's most personal novel--and arguably his most iconoclastic--Trans-Atlantyk is written in the style of a gaweda, a tale told by the fireside in a language that originated in the seventeenth century. It recounts the often farcical adventures of a penniless young writer stranded in Argentina when the Nazis invade his homeland, and his subsequent "adoption" by the Polish embassy staff and emigre community.

Based loosely on Gombrowicz's own experiences as an expatriate, Trans-Atlantyk is steeped in humor and sharply pointed satire, interlaced with dark visions of war and its horrors, that entreats the individual and society in general to rise above the suffocating constraints of nationalistic, sexual, and patriotic mores. The novel's themes are universal and its execution ingenious--a masterwork of twentieth-century literary art from an author whom John Updike calle
