Błoński i Proust

Błoński and ProustThis is the comparative reading of Jan Błoński’s book Widzieć jasno w zachwyceniu and Roland Barthes’ essay entitled „Longtemps, je me suis couché de bonne heure”. Błoński’s book was first published in 1965. Barthes wrote his text in 1978 and he didn’t read Błoński.
