A chapbook novella, this is a post apocalyptic, biblical, haunting, at times quite funny assault at our notions of self-sacrifice, religion, innocence, noir, the afterlife and the styles of writing itself known to all. It is a chapbook. It is a novella. It is a story. It is poetry. It is a portion of a play. It is transcribed fictitious events. Yet it's not quite any of these things entirely. It is one of a kind.

Although Witold Gombrowicz's unique, idiosyncratic writings include a three-volume Diary, this voluminous document offers few facts about his early life in Poland before his books were banned there and he went into voluntary exile. Polish Memories-a series of autobiographical sketches Gombrowicz composed for Radio Free Europe during his years in Argentina in the late 1950s-fills the gap in our knowledge. Written in a straightforward way without his famous linguistic inventions, the book presents an engaging account of Gombrowicz's childhood, youth, literary beginnings, and fellow writers in interwar Poland and reveals how these experiences and individuals shaped his seemingly outlandish concepts about the self, culture, art, and society. In addition, the book helps readers understand the numerous autobiographical allusions in his fiction and brings a new level of understanding and appreciation to his life and work.

I speak of the many basic cravings of life: love, solitude, accomplishment, loss, gluttony and self deprivation This is one simple man's exploration of truth through a life time of a mixture of embracing spiritual fulfillment and the hollow emptiness of defeat. So I ask you now as you contemplate these words. Are you hungry?

This work offers a perspective on language teaching by placing moral issues - questions of values - at the core of what it is to be a teacher. It shows that all language teaching involves an interplay of deeply held views, but in each situation these values are played out in different ways.
