Jerzy Kosinski's crosscultural biography and his work, so very aware of thegrowing power of popular culture and of media other than language, fascinatetoday because they seem to epitomize aspirations and temptations of thepostmodern artist. The paradoxes of the postmodern condition converge inKosinskFs life and work with paradigmatic sharpness of contours filled in byhis inimmitable blend of experiential poignancy and play.
The conference Jerzy Kosinski. Man and Work at the Crossroads of Culturesprovided a forum where Polish and American scholars explored the controversialnaturę of Kosinski's life and work, confronted their respective insights, andshared the ambience of the city that helped to form nim intellectually andartistically.
