Complicité’s The Street of Crocodiles is inspired by the life and stories of Polish writer Bruno Schulz (1892-1942). It captures the vast landscapes of Schulz’s extraordinary imagination and the startling absurdity and sensuality of his work. Bruno Schulz was a Polish Jew born in Drohobych, at the time a city in Austrian Galicia. He published two volumes of short fiction during his life. Shot in the street by a Nazi officer in German-occupied Drohobych, Schulz achieved posthumous fame as one of the most influential European fiction writers of the twentieth century. Complicité (1983 – ) began life as a collective and this spirit of collective enquiry and of collaborative curiosity has driven their work throughout its history.

From the book by Cinnamon Shops and Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass (Short Stories) by Bruno Schulz. By arrangement with Complicité.
