«Le Festin chez la comtesse Fritouille et autres nouvelles» is a collection of short stories by Witold Gombrowicz in paperback, published by Gallimard in French.
Friday dinners at Countess Fritouille's home are a great honour: elegant guests, delicate vegetarian food and refined conversation, though some evenings hold surprises. There is also a judge determined to prove that Ignace K. was murdered, and a young woman, Alice, who uses her innocence with disturbing naturalness.
The 122-page edition belongs to the Folio collection; the French translation is by Georges Sédir.
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.
