Presentation of the book by Prof. Marek Zybura "Józef Mackiewicz i krytycy" ["Józef Mackiewicz and the Critics"].

"Documenting current reflection on art of Józef Mackiewicz, this anthology gathers texts of critics, literature researchers and writers. As any selection, this one also does not present (even due to capacity reasons) the full spectrum of opinions. (...) My intention was rather presenting the readers voices characteristic and representative for various stages of reception, and at the same time I was hoping they will constitute - combined together - a kind of guide to the writings of the author. Needless to say, they would also be an encouragement for those readers of the anthology for whom the writings of the author have remained unknown, to acquaint themselves directly with them."

Marek Zybura, from an introduction to the book. 

„An independent publishing movement  (…) running since roughly 1977 took no interest in art of Józef Mackiewicz at all (…) A writer then unknown to the wider circle of readers, could not remain unknown to the opposition elites, controlling independent publishing movement, and literature researchers and critics cooperating with them.”
