About the book: year / For superficial authors, he [Stanislav Jerzy Lec] is convenient as a source of epigraphs, because he does not need Nothing to READ, to isolate from the mass of the text, but you can take ready-made jokes, cut for immediate use. It is better for clean writers of non-Jewish nationality to ignore him, and if you really want to incorporate something from the classics, then you should try to dig it up in good faith - from Plato, Cicero, Erasmus of Rotterdam, Baltasar Gracian and others like them. Or at least Baruch Spinoza: he did not strive to show off verbal tricks.
