Bruno Schulz

HERE IS the story of a certain spring, a spring which was more real, more brilliant and vivid than other springs; the spring that simply took its literal text seriously - that inspired manifesto written in the brightest holiday red, the red of a letter's seal and of the calendar, the red of a coloured pencil and the red of enthusiasm, an amaranth of happy telegrams from far away...

from Sanatorium at the Sign of the Hourglass.

Every Spring I like to dip into this amazing book. Given Schulz's biography, it seemed appropriate to pick this up after finishing Everything is Illuminated.
