"A wonderfully subversive, self-absorbed, hilarious book. Think Kafka translated by Groucho Marx, with commentaries."

Kirkus, 08/15/2000

"FERDYDURKE is one of the most bracing, direct books ever written about sexual desire--this without a single scene of sexual union....Gombrowicz capers and thunders, hectors and mocks, but he is also entirely serious about his project of trans-valuation, his critique of high 'ideals.' FERDYDURKE is one of the few novels I know that could be called Nietzschean; certainly it is the only comic novel that could be so described....[C]an "Ferdydurke" still offend? Still seem outrageous? Exception made for the novel's acidic misogyny, probably not. Does it still seem extravagant, brilliant, disturbing, brave, funny, wonderful? Yes....Long live its sublime mockery of all attempts to normalize desire--and the reach of great literature."
