New Left Review I/6, November-December 1960
Slawomir Mrozek
Wedding in Atomice
mark my words: science has made great progress here, very great indeed. . . .
The bridegroom had quite a sizeable laboratory near the wood and a couple of reactors over against the imperial highway, and in the farmyard itself a smallish but neat chemical synthesis workshop. The bride had from her father a dowry consisting of a whole power station well situated in the centre of the village near the church. And in addition she must have had a good six patents dealing with biochemistry in her hope chest. Not surprising therefore that the young couple were suited and the parents quickly agreed to the marriage. And so a wedding was announced in Atomice.
