A selection of short prose pieces by the Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet incorporate the author's reflections on an eclectic array of books, ranging from titles on cooking, yoga, gardening, and home repair to volumes on opera and world literature.


Review:

"Glorious distillations of a capacious mind and heart."

Kirkus, 08/15/2002

"Witty, provocative, eccentric and voraciously inquisitive....The essays are seamlessly translated from the Polish by Clare Cavanagh."

Natalya Sukhonos, New York Times Book Review, 10/20/2002

Book Description: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), 2002. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 218 x 145 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. Wislawa Szymborska's poems are admired around the world, and her unsparing vision, tireless wit, and deep sense of humanity are cherished by countless readers. Unknown to most of them, however, Szymborska also worked for several decades as a columnist, reviewing a wide variety of books under the unassuming title "Nonrequired Reading." As readers of her poems would expect, the short prose pieces collected here are anything but ordinary. Reflecting the author's own eclectic tastes and interests, the pretexts for these ruminations range from books on wallpapering, cooking, gardening, and yoga, to more lofty volumes on opera and world literature. Unpretentious yet incisive, these charming pieces are on a par with Szymborska's finest lyrics, tackling the same large and small questions with a wonderful curiosity.
