Kaden-Bandrowski, Juliusz

▪ Polish writer
born February 24, 1885, Rzeszów, Galicia [now in Poland]
died August 8, 1944, Warsaw, Poland

      Polish sociopolitical novelist and lyrical short-story writer whose experimental works savagely satirized Polish society after World War I.

      After working as a foreign correspondent and studying music in Brussels, Kaden-Bandrowski joined the military in 1914 in order to serve under Józef Piłsudski (Piłsudski, Józef), the organizer of a new Polish army. Between 1918 and 1920 he served as chief of the Polish army's press service. Active in the Polish underground during the German occupation, he died of wounds received during the Warsaw Uprising, in which his two sons died fighting.

      The novels for which he is best known include Czarne skrzydła (1928–29; “Black Wings”), which examines social problems in Poland's coal-mining regions, Generał Barcz (1922–23; “General Barcz”), and Mateusz Bigda (1933; “Matthew Bigda”). The latter two satirically describe political life after Poland regained independence. Considered by many critics to offer caricatures of real political personalities (e.g., Józef Piłsudski), these novels evoked wide public reaction, mostly critical of the author's unrestrained, often brutal depiction of reality. Kaden-Bandrowski used a naturalistic and expressionistic style, in many cases focusing on the purely physical actions of his characters, sometimes in sex scenes that were shocking to the 1920s reading public. He employed a completely different poetics, however, in his volume of short stories Miasto mojej matki (1925; “My Mother's Hometown”), which contains lyrical childhood reminiscences.
