I really wish the author came with a less shocking title. It threw me off for years and made me not wish to read this 1960s Polish classic. Eventually I caved in. During World War II two old men experiment with two teenagers, a boy and a girl. After failing to get them to fall in love, eventually murder replaces their plans. This isn't Gombrowciz's most famous book. Rather
Ferdydurke is. The novel is dreamlike and you often question what is really going on. It's not for everyone but I liked it.
