"The Passion of potato" is a hodgepodge: the one hand, stories about life in exile, the other impression from reading. Whatever you choose, you can be sure that sooner or later will be a delicious part. U Rudnicki I like above all its verbal juggling, "eyed" perception of reality and poignancy. And this is no small and bite hard.
got the most Brunon Schulz, which also had some Rudnicki bad. Because as I sit here to go near such enunciations:
me is not about concordance, I clung to the legs, because whenever Schulz enters into the realm that lies between them, his prose swells. Outside this sphere, except August, Street of Crocodiles, naturally Retirement and a few minor exceptions, it drags on like a ship to Młociny and resembles a school trip on it. Start the fighter has always been a place alongside, then disappointment increased in proportion to the number of nodes. Mdliło vulnerable at the end, while others entertain themselves with their own saliva, staring at her fading into the distance cakes. Excursion from the ship went down on land with the same ease, with which they leave the land. [p. 143]
Similar passages in the book more. Rudnick pastures and over the classic bully, but one can not deny it at the same time: in-depth knowledge of the subject. Carefully analyzes the text, examine the left and right, examines a piece by piece. These are not just empty statements, dropped just like that, but the opinions of someone who knows Schulz almost by heart. The dissident? It happens, also tuzom literature.
The "Passion of the potato" were the observations of the author after reading the newspapers Nalkowska and Dabrowska. He compared the thoughts of the two writers on the same subjects or the war, animals, love, friends, etc. Here, too, indulged in a derogative remarks, and here also it is impossible to deny him a sober mind;). Rudnicki fairly (read: not on my knees;)) read the notes and women dared to go with them in the discussion. Finally, nowhere does it say that the classics must be approached uncritically;).
book is not easy and pleasant reading, but it is valuable, among others because of the literary polemics Rudnicki. For me, an errata to the Polish school lessons and a great material to argue. And this language, this style ... Texts by more than a decade earlier than "Death of the Czech dog" , a collection certainly less consistent, but to me not to be sneezed at.
