"(...) a novel by Gombrowicz, now translated into a number of languages, can be read on various levels. The author refers to himself as "a model of cheap romance in the genre of Rodziewiczówna or Zarzycka." Some readers will be sensitive to the demystification of the Home Army or, perhaps more accurately, the de-legitimization of Polish patriotic shtick. But 'Pornography' is, first and foremost, a metaphysical book in which Gombrowicz strives, more boldly than ever, to capture the essence of human existence at the most fundamental level." [publisher's note from the Catalog of the Library of "Culture" 1966].
