Plus the fine novel "Insatiability", which I notice being advertised in
another US edition (Northwestern Uni.).  I don't know whether it still
has the Milosz introduction which, when I read the book, struck me as
inadequate in the way that it tried to normalise Witkiewicz's rather
monstrous work to the bloc politics of the time.
