Gombrowicz' Polish Memories
I finished Polish Memories [amazon.com] by Witold Gombrowicz recently, and I wish I could say something interesting about it, but it really wasn't that interesting. I would only recommend it to hardcore Gombrowicz fans (of which I am one, of course) and possibly the very small number of people who are specifically interested in the prewar Polish literary scene. Everyone else I recommend to start with Gombrowicz' magnificent Diary [amazon.com] instead. If not the best book ever written, I think at least it's the best book on literature ever written.
