Gombrowicz Family
“At the beginning of the [twentieth] century, we were an uprooted family, our social status unclear, living between Lithuania and the Congress Kingdom of Poland, between the countryside and the industry, between the so-called ‘good society’ and the middle-class one. These are just the first ‘betweens’ which then continued to multiply until they almost become my place of residence, my true home.” [W. Gombrowicz, A Kind of Testament. Interviews with Dominique de Roux, 1969]
