Summary
"Although primarily known as one of the premier Polish avant-garde poets, Józef Czechowicz made his literary debut at the age of twenty with his novella The Story of the Paper Crown. Published in the first (unnumbered) edition of Reflektor in June 1923, this story gives an account of Henryk, a sensitive young man who, through philosophical debates, sex, religious visions, and febrile fantasies, undertakes a journey whose ultimate purpose is to come to terms with his homosexuality as well as to build a foundation for an authentic life."--Publisher's description.
