CZERWCOWA DYSKUSJA W WARSZAWIE

Książka: Good night, Dżerzi Autor: Janusz Głowacki Data spotkania: 5 czerwca (piątek), 18:00 Miejsce spotkania: Kawiarnia Kafka, ul. Oboźna 3 Osoba kontaktowa: Kasia, tel. [phone], [email protected]

Czerwcowe spotkanie naszego warszawskiego oddziału klubu poświęcimy powieści Good night, Dżerzi, będącej próbą zrozumienia dość niejednoznacznej postaci w naszej kulturze: Jerzego Kosińskiego. Jak widzi go polski czytelnik w trzydzieści pięć lat po jego samobójczej śmierci? Czy książka Głowackiego uczyniła go bardziej ludzkim, przystępnym, czy jednak nadal wymyka się naszemu poznaniu? Kim jest Dżerzi?

Serdecznie zapraszam do dyskusji.

Seeing encompassed all at once; a touch was limited to one spot at a time."

Jerzy Kosinski, Being There
