The Street of Crocodiles in the Polish city of Drogobych is a street of memories and dreams where recollections of Bruno Schulz's uncommon boyhood and of the eerie side of his merchant family's life are evoked in a startling blend of the real and the fantastic. Most memorable - and most chilling - is the portrait of the author's father, a maddened shopkeeper who imports rare birds' eggs to hatch in his attic, who believes tailors' dummies should be treated like people, and whose obsessive fear of cockroaches causes him to resemble one. Bruno Schulz, a Polish Jew killed by the Nazis in 1942, is considered by many to have been the leading Polish writer between the two world wars.

A myth in which we believe when we are young, but which cease to take seriously as we get older. Schulz is one of those artists, who spend their lives interpreting images that are stamped in their minds during childhood.

有一种 看不见的城市 的前辈的感觉。读了这篇和cinnamon shops都挺喜欢。

Dragged into the spirals, swirling in the gusts of languages 在蒙上眼睛时食物被塞入口中 汁水在舌尖炸开 头晕目眩 摸到the margin of reality

Schulz is amazing though sometimes a bit too exuberant (which does not accord with my guts). But the stories are magical, literally. I bet Benjamin would love them had he been able to read them.
