Extraordinary: Remembering Wislawa Szymborska [Chinese]

By: Rusinek, Micha

Michal Rusinski, a twenty-four-year-old recent graduate, came for an interview. He politely asked for a pair of scissors and cut the telephone line--and thus became Szymborska's devoted companion until her final moments. As her secretary, Rusiński gained an unparalleled perspective, effortlessly piecing together fifteen years of shared moments to offer a uniquely intimate portrait: her sometimes whimsical hobbies, her fondness for solitude, the birth of her poetry, her writing habits, her passion for collage, and her complex friendship with Czeslaw Mitosz. Particularly precious is Lucynka's faithful capture of Szymborska's endearing quirks and genuine spirit as an "eccentric old lady," witnessing how she steadfastly guarded her inner self amid the immense clamor of the Nobel Prize.
