Description



About the Book



In August 1939, a ship arrives in Buenos Aires carrying a group of Polish businessmen, diplomats, and journalists. Days later, as war looms in Europe, the captain receives orders to return--but one passenger decides, at the last moment, to disembark and stay. Thus begins the unexpectedly long Argentine exile of one of the 20th century's essential writers: Witold Gombrowicz. A Foreigner Everywhere begins at this pivotal moment, tracing Gombrowicz's life while offering key insights into his work. Drawing on his own writings and interviews with disciples, writers, and scholars, Mercedes Halfon crafts a vivid, sharply observed biography, rich with subtle humor. The book follows the Polish author through decades of precarious life in Argentina--frequenting cafés and bookstores, traveling between Buenos Aires and the provinces, and striving to define himself as a writer. With clarity, precision, and elegance, Halfon delivers a portrait not only of a singular literary figure, but also of a fascinating cultural era.
