In this collection of essays and reminiscences, written over a span of three decades, the Nobel Prizewinning poet traces an informal autobiography against the street map of an extraordinary citya crossroads of languages, cultures, and beliefsthat lies at the very heart of his internal geography.Beginning with My Streets, available for the first time in paperback, gathers portraits of the writers Aleksander Wat, Dwight MacDonald, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, as well as the great Swedish scientist Emanuel Swedenborg; an exchange of letters from the 1950s with the novelist and diarist Witold Gombrowicz; and a selection of speeches delivered between 1967 and 1987, including Miloszs Nobel Lecture.
