Wislawa Szymborska's poems are admired around the world, and her unsparing vision, tireless wit, and deep sense of humanity are cherished by countless readers. Unknown to most of them, however, Szymborska also worked for several decades as a columnist, reviewing a wide variety of books under the unassuming title "Nonrequired Reading." As readers of her poems would expect, the short prose pieces collected here are anything but ordinary. Reflecting the author's own eclectic tastes and interests, the pretexts for these ruminations range from books on wallpapering, cooking, gardening, and yoga, to more lofty volumes on opera and world literature. Unpretentious yet incisive, these charming pieces are on a par with Szymborska's finest lyrics, tackling the same large and small questions with a wonderful curiosity.… (mehr)

Un libro piacevolissimo, fatto di non-recensioni. Sono schede di lettura, divagazioni e riflessioni personali suggerite dalle letture più disparate. Poco o niente viene detto su come i vari autori hanno trattato uno specifico argomento e solo in un paio di casi, su circa cento schede, viene espressa una valutazione. Ogni lettura è l’occasione per un personalissimo percorso dell’autrice, che ha preso in esame i testi più disparati. Si parla di scrittura cinese, di un faraone-donna, di Hitchcock, di molluschi, di bricolage, di Gibbon, di astrologia e chi più ne ha più ne metta. E’ scritto con tale arguzia e intelligente lievità che una pagina tira l’altra e dopo ogni scheda si resta incuriositi sul possibile argomento della scheda successiva. L’impressione è che l’autrice sia stata una donna simpaticissima, con un grande ‘sense of humour’ e, caso più unico che raro, nessuna supponenza, nemmeno un briciolo. ( )

A collection of book reviews from the Polish poet & Nobel Laureate. Wonderful, quirky, delightfully erudite and completely eccentric. Recommended. ( )

Nada de sesudos estudios sobre las obras, sino el cercano análisis de una lectora amateur, como ella misma se define. "Me emocionó tanto que casi se me cae el bolígrafo" ( )

Such a lively mind. Such wide-ranging interests. Exceptionally brilliant translator. Wislawa [I feel like I'm on a first-name basis with this very open, bright, clear-minded author] won the Nobel for her poetry about a dozen years ago. This is a collection of brief reviews of non-fiction books -- some originally in Polish & many translated mostly from French, German, and a few from English. She tackles biographies from Ella Fitzgerald to Pierre de Fermat (17th century mathematician). She has a great interest in cultural anthropology from Neaderthals through to Middle Ages to now. Indeed, there is no topic she doesn't dive into with great verve. Witty, knowledgable, a spritely intellectual & a great delight to read. ( )
