cover of the book
The book was published under the title Escribe si vendrás. Correspondencia (1967-1978)’ by the Barcelona-based Las Afueras publishing house.
They spent twenty years together, but never married or lived together. The volume Your Cat Has the Best Life. Letters collects the correspondence of an unusual couple, as Wisława Szymborska and Kornel Filipowicz certainly were.An important part of their life together was the letters they wrote to each other when either of them left Krakow. In the correspondence between the poet-Nobel laureate and the master of the short prose form, we find both some intimate confessions and the most prosaic, everyday topics, both reflections on literary creation as well as stories about the people around them.
