The Cinnamon Shops and Other Stories

The Cinnamon Shops and Other Stories | Bruno Schulz

3 posts | 13 read | 15 to read

In The Cinnamon Shops and Other Stories, Bruno Schulz describes in fantastical, mythologised terms the cloth merchant's shop where he grew up and the bizarre antics of his father, such as turning the attic into an aviary and expounding strange theories on mannequins. Two sides of the Galician town of Drohobycz are seen: the old town full of ancient mystery is contrasted with newer districts that have sprung up in response to oil mining in the area. The language is poetic, heady and oneiric, employing a rich system of imagery incorporating books and labyrinths.

Street of Crocodiles | Bruno Schulz

Thu: "It's a book of short stories told from the perspective of a young boy and set in a Polish city. I read a profile of the author and was touched by his story. He was a writer and living in a Jewish ghetto in Poland. An SS officer protected him until one day he was shot dead in the street by that officer's rival. What's amazing about his book is that it's fantastic – like you're an ant and are looking at a dazzling storefront full of lights."
