Keywords Biography - Communism - Writer
This graphic novel, conceived on the initiative of the eminent Polish novelist and playwright Witold Gombrowicz's widow Rita, is a "biography in dreams."

A leading light of international literature widely admired by his peers, Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969) was a major influence on the revival of the absurd during an era petrified by the threat of war. He was an archetypal Eastern European writer, confronted with revolutions and communism, doomed to exile, moving from opulence to misery, intimate with solitude. Creators Andrzej Wolski and Wōzniak collaborate with Gombrowicz' widow Rita to bring this dreamy life to life, resurrecting a Don Quixote who wielded his pen and steely wit everywhere against the tide of seriousness overwhelming the world.
