I've always been haunted by the missing phone book in Bruno Schulz's story "The Book." This <A HREF="http://www.answers.com/topic/bruno-schulz" REL="nofollow">page</A> tells me what I already suspected: the Book is real!:<BR/><BR/>"In the 1980s, the original Austro-Hungarian advertisement that Schulz must have seen and subsequently incorporated into Sanatorium pod Klepsydrą was discovered in a library. The advertisement is a page from "The Book" of Sanatorium pod Klepsydrą. Schulz actually quotes a few lines from "The Book" in his novel and one generally assumed it was something Schulz had just made up. However, the quote: I, Anna Csillag, born in Karłowice, Moravia, had weak hair growth... is similar to the beginning of a German advertisement for hair growth "I, Anna Csillag, with my long giant Loreley hair of 185 centimetres, have grown it due to a 14-month treatment with a hair cream of my own invention."Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.com
