Bakakaï is not just an exotic word evoking mysterious adventures, but also the name of a street in Buenos Aires and the title of this book by Witold Gombrowicz. First published in 1933, this collection of short stories reveals the author's deeply impudent nature. In this collection, Gombrowicz arranges the texts in reverse chronological order, adding an element of surprise and challenge to the reading. Despite its sometimes morbid and repugnant character, Bakakaï is considered an essential part of the work of one of the great writers of the 20th century.
Witold Marian Gombrowicz was a Polish writer and playwright. His works are characterised by deep psychological analysis, a certain sense of paradox and absurd, anti-nationalist flavor. In 1937, he published his first novel, Ferdydurke, which presented many of his usual themes: problems of immaturity and youth, creation of identity in interactions with others, and an ironic, critical examination of class roles in Polish society and culture.
