Schulz in Drogobych for the Fifth Time

In September 2012, Pedagogical University in Drogobych, Ukraine, hosted 5th International Bruno Schulz Festival. The Festival’s topic was “Bruno Schulz as Philosopher and Literary Theorist.” In 2014, thanks to financial support of the Polish Institute in Kyiv, a four-language volume was published, including all the academic papers delivered during the festival conference. The opening section of the collection includes four statements by special guests: the Polish intellectual Adam Michnik, the noted Israeli fiction writer David Grossman, the Ukrainian writer Taras Prokhasko, and the Russian writer Victor Yerofeev. The remaining sections focus on new interpretations of Schulz’s works, various comparative contexts, and the history of the town of Drogobych, where Schulz was born and finally killed by the Nazis
