Tadeusz Różewicz
Exit
About the author Excerpt Exit is a superb collection by the great poet Tadeusz Różewicz (born 1921), and is notable for its familiar and yet novel tone. Never before has he included so many reflections about God, while there is less paradox here than usual, and more about his personal God. The bloody, often absurd history of Europe is reflected in the life stories of poets and petty smugglers. The poet saves his sharpest criticism for television companies that trade in historical figures, national symbols, film stars and sports stars, including commercial, public and evangelical channels. Pure and innocent wording is just a memory now, but philosophical conversation with close friends can offer salvation.
