In 1933, Gombrowicz published some short stories gathered under the title of Memories of the period of immaturity. In 1957, these stories, together with three other new ones, were reissued under the title Bakakaï.

Witold Gombrowicz (Małoszyce, Poland, 1904 - Vence, France, 1969), novelist and playwright, stayed in our country for twenty-four years. (To learn more about his biography and his bibliographic production, we invite you to read the previous batch)

Regarding his intellectual stature, Juan José Saer wrote: “Piglia says that Gombrowicz is the best Argentine writer of the 20th century. It is certainly an ironic exaggeration intended to test Argentine nationalism, but it is not totally inaccurate; the Witoldian theme par excellence, immaturity, the unfinished that he attributed to Polish culture had been, since the 1920s, unequivocally the concern of Argentine intellectuals”.
